Viral video: Unexpected speed breaker in Gurugram leaves vehicle flying, GMDA responds
An unmarked speed breaker on Gurgaon¡¯s Golf Course Road has gone viral after a video showed cars, including a BMW, briefly airborne upon hitting it. Many vehicles, including large trucks, were filmed flying off the ground due to the poorly visible bump.
An unannounced speed breaker in an upmarket Gurgaon neighbourhood has enraged commuters because it sends automobiles 'flying' into the air. Footage that has gone viral on social media shows multiple automobiles, including a luxury BMW and large lorries, flying through the air due to Golf Course Road's badly designed speed breaker.
What happens in the viral video?
Ouch!

This seems to have happened on a newly made unmarked speed breaker on golf course road in Gurugram!
Got it in one of my groups. Damn!
Can anyone from Gurgaon confirm this pic.twitter.com/EZMmvq7W1f
One video shows a white BMW jumping into the air after hitting an unmarked speed breaker. It stayed in the air for at least a few seconds before landing with a bump, its back bumper scratching against the road. It was followed by many trucks, whose drivers, apparently unable to see the speed breaker, jumped into the air as well.
The user sharing the video wrote in the caption, "Ouch! This seems to have happened on a newly made unmarked speed breaker on a golf course road in Gurugram! Got it in one of my groups. Damn! Can anyone from Gurgaon confirm this?"
The video from Gurgaon was published on the social networking platform X, where it became popular, garnering around 8 lakh views.
How did people on the internet react?
The driver of the BMW sedan identified himself in the comments area, stating that the event occurred on October 27 on Golf Course Road in Gurgaon. The BMW owner, Vipin, called it "criminal" to have a speed breaker that drivers couldn't see.
This happened to me yesterday. It¡¯s criminal to leave speed breakers without marking in such roads.

Official account of Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority also responded to the video and wrote, "Dear Sir, DLF is taking up further necessary action in this matter. Thank you."

There was a study that showed people got spine issues due to these speed breakers, but we continue with the unscientific approach!
