Watch: Man Sees Crop Sprayer on the Highway – Don’t Make the Same Mistake He Did
A man from Ontario, Canada, made headlines after recklessly driving under a $600,000 crop sprayer for the sake of social media attention. In a video shared on the platform X, the driver, accompanied by a passenger, rapidly accelerated towards the moving sprayer, passing underneath it while expressing excitement and drinking a beer. The driver of the sprayer honked in disapproval as the passengers cheered. The incident, which could have resulted in serious injuries or worse, sparked outrage and highlighted the dangers of seeking internet fame through reckless behavior. Critics pointed out that the man’s actions reflect a broader trend in which individuals take hazardous risks for fleeting online recognition rather than pursuing genuine accomplishments.Fortunately, in this instance, the driver escaped unharmed, but the event serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of prioritizing clout over safety.
One man from Ontario, Canada, decided to drive under a crop sprayer for internet clout in an incredibly dangerous decision.
In a video posted by Collin Rugg to social media platform X last Friday, the man was filming himself driving down the road behind what is said to be a $600,000 crop sprayer.
While filming, the passenger can be heard asking, “Are we speeding up?” as the driver accelerates toward the crop sprayer.
The car then passes beneath it as yelling and cheering can be heard from the occupants. The driver of the crop sprayer is also heard honking his horn in obvious disapproval.
The man then flips the camera on himself to express his excitement.
“No f****in way! No f****in way!” he said repeatedly, clearly putting an open beer can in the shot.

The short clip has all the makings of a potential disaster.
The driver was filming himself, driving recklessly under a crop sprayer that could turn in an instant and lead to a crash that could injure both drivers and the passenger, or worse.
The cherry on top was that he was drinking and driving.
Rugg captioned the clip, “The intrusive thoughts won.”
That’s an appropriate description.
According to Shiksha News, the New Holland crop sprayer shown here has blind spots making it hard to perceive where other vehicles are.
It also weighs several tons, can make shifts and adjustments unexpectedly, and of course, is not designed for other vehicles to pass under it.
This not a smart idea and shows how people are willing to act recklessly and risk their lives for next to nothing aside from “clout.”
When people see names like internet personality Haliey Welch — the “hawk tuah” girl — become famous and wealthy overnight for a crude sex joke, they take it as a sign.
Rather than strive for real accomplishment through hard work and consistency, you can say or do something dumb, and you might just make it.
This is the digital equivalent of playing the lottery.
One in hundreds of millions win. Most of us just end up wasting our time.
For this man, he’s lucky the only thing he wasted was time and not his life.
