On Camera, Man Dressed As Superman Gets Hit By Bus He Was Pretending To Stop

The incident occurred in Brazil on May 30 and soon gained traction on social media.

The Internet is filled with inspiring videos of people exhibiting extraordinary grit and courage. But the same social media platforms also have ample stock of clips that feature humans making some questionable and non-rational decisions. One such video has surfaced and gained traction on various social media sites. What's more, this one even involves a Superman suit. A comedian from Brazil dressed up in a Superman costume and pretended to stop a bus. The premise of the video that featured comedian Luiz Ribeiro de Andrade was that he would show off his strength by halting the moving vehicle with one hand. Unfortunately, he was hit by the bus he was pretending to stop. Fortunately, he did not suffer any serious injuries. The ‘stunt', according to the Daily Mail, was attempted in the Brazilian municipality of Barra dos Coqueiros on May 30. The video of the incident soon went viral on social media. In the footage, the comedian was seen dressed head-to-toe in the Superman outfit, holding a matching microphone in one hand. He was seen standing in the middle of the road as the bus came speeding towards him. Unfortunately, Mr Luiz miscalculated the time it would take for the vehicle to reach him and was hit by the bus.  He was thrown ahead due to the impact of the hit and stumbled before he regained balance. Despite things not going as planned, the comedian was not one to accept defeat. Instead, he walked as if unaffected by the collision and even looked at the camera to say, “Now, I've seen I really am made of steel”.
