At first, everything appears to be going to plan &#8211; the man leans forward and picks up speed while moving in a straight line. However disaster suddenly strikes and the man moves beyond the contraption, which crashes behind him. With nothing under his feet and a lot of momentum carrying him forward, the man is sent hurtling into the road face-first.&#8221; The report does not mention any bomb blast or explosion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-169767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-02-at-19.30.01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"841\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-02-at-19.30.01.jpeg 841w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-02-at-19.30.01-197x300.jpeg 197w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-02-at-19.30.01-673x1024.jpeg 673w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-02-at-19.30.01-768x1169.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 841px) 100vw, 841px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To sum up, a video depicting a man falling off a hoverboard and exploding into flames has gone viral with a communal spin.
