Motovlogger Dubbed as “Superman of Marilaque” Passes Away While Performing Dangerous Stunt
A motovlogger, famously referred to as the “Superman of Marilaque,” has tragically passed away while attempting a dangerous stunt.
The Superman pose on a motorcycle is an extremely risky stunt that puts the rider and others in serious danger. When a rider lies flat on their bike in this position, they lose proper control of the handlebars, brakes, and throttle, making it hard to react quickly in an emergency.
The stunt also affects the bike’s balance and stability because the rider’s weight shifts away from the center, which can easily lead to losing control, especially on uneven roads or bumps.
Recently, John Louie Arguelles, a Pinoy motovlogger passed away after a stunt gone wrong along Marilaque Road in Rizal. The rider community is mourning for the content creator’s untimely death.
In the video, Arguelles was riding his red motorcycle while performing a “Superman pose,” a risky stunt where the rider lies flat on the bike to imitate the famous superhero’s flight. Another rider joined him in the stunt.
While performing the pose, the other rider lost control of their motorcycle. The incident led to Arguelles being pushed toward a group of tourists sitting on a road barrier.
Despite returning to a normal riding position and shifting to the correct lane, Arguelles was unable to avoid the accident due to the limited space and sudden movements around him. The stunt was reportedly intended for taking eye-catching photos, a common practice among some motovloggers who aim to produce dramatic content.
However, the incident reminds us the risks associated with such daring activities, especially on public roads.
Members of the rider community have expressed deep sorrow over Arguelles’ passing, emphasizing the importance of safety and responsibility when riding. The incident emphasizes the importance of prioritizing road safety over thrill-seeking stunts to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
