In August 2025, a TikTok creator named Ore Oladapo, who goes by @lifestyleoforezzy, shared a video that has since gone viral. The 8-second clip, filmed at a local festival in Leeds, England, shows Oladapo standing directly in front of a rapidly rotating carnival ride. Due to the low angle of the video, it appears as though the ride is heading straight for him, sparking concern among his 8.5 million followers.
However, Oladapo assures that it was merely an optical illusion, and that the ride safely moved behind him at the end of the clip. The video has now amassed over 126 million views, with many users expressing their initial panic and relief that the creator was unharmed. Oladapo notes that he "never" expected the video to receive such a massive response, and that he was simply enjoying a day at the festival when he decided to capture the moment.
Despite the viral nature of the video, Oladapo maintains that he was never in any real danger, and that the angle of the shot created the illusion of a near-miss. The video has since sparked a mix of reactions, with some users finding humor in the situation, while others expressed concern for the creator's safety.
