The videos that went viral and filled internet space recently captured one of the paralyzed individuals during an attempt at jumping 117 meters from Himalayas by bungee while attached to a cable securing himself perfectly within his wheelchair; they captured him jumping as onlookers celebrated for him. It remains quite ironic that a local Rishikesh venture boasted it was “India only bungee company capable of making impossible, possible”.
Sharing on social media the ‘himalayanbungy’ wrote, “We are proud to be India’s only bungee company to make the impossible possible! ✨ A wheelchair-bound paralysis warrior conquered India’s highest bungee jump at 117m, turning a dream into reality.🎖️💪”

The man, whose Instagram handle is ‘Abhay_6222’, thanked the organizers for this opportunity and expressed gratitude. He assured the viewers of safety by saying, “I am happy and all parts intact.”
In his Instagram post, Abhay wrote, “Life is no different for me. I loved doing it and will definitely do it again whenever I get the chance.”
It was also mixed reactions toward the video. Some even appreciated him, saying, “he is an inspiration to millions” and others on the contrary said that risks are many to be taken to gain fewer views. For instance, “The courage he carries is so inspiring,” “Really cannot understand the need for risking so much for few views!”
