Over the years, we have seen numerous automakers and aftermarket parts makers doing extreme stunts to show the quality and durability of their vehicles. However, in so many years, we have never seen someone letting an elephant test the quality of a product. Recently, a video has become viral on the internet in which an accessory maker for KTM lets an elephant drag a brand-new KTM 390 Adventure on the road just to show how amazing the quality of their product is.

This video of an elephant dragging a KTM motorcycle on the road has been shared on Instagram by Murshid BandIdos on their page. In this short video, what happens is that a person was sitting on top of an elephant. He then announces that so far, no one has done such an unconventional test of a product for a bike.

After this, he states that they will be testing out the accessories made by their company for the KTM 390 Adventure motorcycle. For this, a rope was attached to the KTM motorcycle, and then it was tied around the trunk of the elephant. Following this, the bike was pushed on the road, and it fell on the left side.

Soon after this, the elephant was made to go back and drag this KTM 390 Adventure. We can note the elephant started dragging the bike for a while, and after some time, it stopped. The influencer then shows the result of this test. He highlights that the guard for the KTM 390 Adventure made by their company has protected the bike from any damage. It can be seen that the guard was damaged, but the bike was fine.

Such stunts should not be promoted

Although the idea behind this video was to show off the quality of the product made by the company, it has to be highlighted that such stunts involving innocent animals should not be promoted on social media platforms. There are numerous stupid people on the internet who could abuse innocent animals for their selfish reasons.

There have been many netizens who have highlighted this issue in the post shared above. One of the comments stated, “Stupid test. We all know Bandidos does good stuff for protection. Why pull such stunts? Tomorrow, some clown will do something else with an animal, and it may result in unforeseen situations. Cheers.” To this, the author of the post replied, “Respect your concern! This was just us going the extra mile to prove the strength.”

Thankfully, the elephant in this video was a calm and tamed elephant. However, not all elephants are controlled. Recently, a video became viral on the internet in which a wild elephant on the road attacked a car and stepped on the bonnet. This incident took place in Malakkappara, Kerala.

What happened was that an elephant with her calf was seen crossing a road. However, at the same time, a car came in front of these elephants. The driver of this car then panicked and applied brakes, and this provoked the animal. As a result, the elephant started walking towards the car. It checked the vehicle, and when it sensed danger, it started fiddling with the ORVMs and even stepped on the bonnet.
