In Yekaterinburg a motorcyclist set off fireworks while behind the wheel. The daredevil was filmed by eyewitnesses at the intersection of Amundsen and Moskovskaya streets, reports KP‑Yekaterinburg.
Telegram channels that obtained a close-up video say a box of firecrackers was attached to the rear rack of an electric bicycle.
According to the Telegram channel "Incident Yekaterinburg," the police have already opened an investigation.
Despite the spectacular sight, Yekaterinburg residents doubt the safety of such stunts, writes KP‑Yekaterinburg.
"Obviously it's unsafe, because while moving the motorcycle could fall on its own and all of this would fly into cars, windows, people, or the box could just fall off," a reader of the paper noted.
