A man sat on a powerful firecracker for a new tuk-tuk

This story happened in Bangalore on the night of November 1, when Diwali (also known as the Festival of Lights) was celebrated in India. Drunk friends promised 32-year-old Sabarish to chip in for a new three-wheeled motorcycle if he could sit on an impressive-sized firecracker. And he agreed.

You can see the outcome of the bet in these shots. Sabarish received severe injuries and died a few hours later, his "friends" were arrested on charges of premeditated murder.
