A Russian influencer named Danil Myasnikov gained some notoriety online this week after he filmed himself hitting 112 mph in a Chevy Camaro SS on a public highway – but he wasn’t sitting behind the wheel of the sports car at the time of this driving stunt, nor was he in the passenger seat. Danil, believe it or not, was duct-taped to the side of the yellow sports coupe as it travelled down the highway.
The video, which Myasnikov posted to his Instagram page this week, shows the social media clout chaser being duct-taped to the passenger side window of the two-door before a friend gets behind the wheel and sets off. The driver then enters the highway and proceeds to hit 180 km/h in the 6.2L LS3 V8-powered muscle car with Myasnikov still taped to the side, smiling and laughing for the cameras. The video also features a fly-by clip taken by Myasnikov’s friends, which shows him hanging off the side of the car as it travels down the highway at a high rate of speed.
According to The Daily Mail, traffic safety officers in the Russian city of Sochi have since been alerted of Myasnikov’s dangerous Chevy Camaro stunt and have launched an investigation into the matter. The Russian influencer uploaded the video to his Instagram account this week, which has a significant 800,000 followers, where it was viewed upwards of 245,000 in less than two days. It’s not clear if he will be charged as a result of this stunt, but it seems inevitable the person involved would be charged if this video were filmed here in North America.
Check out the video embedded below. It should go without saying that readers shouldn’t try this at home.

So this sorta s**t “influences” people?
“Gee, mom! All the OTHER kids are doing it…!”
Must be a kinder,gentler Putin or he would be in Siberia now
Sad that “influencer” is actually a job title now.
DUMB ASS
Keep in mind. These idiots are entertained by the milk crate challenge. Eating Tide Pods and the Cinnamon challenge. Degenerates in this age demographic are easily “influenced”. Regardless of the country. Next week someone will most likely get killed trying the same dumb stunt.
Same people were entertained by people licking toilet seats on you tube.
The decline in society is upon us.
Try doing the same without tape. Otherwise, this is really lame Mr. Rusky
LMAO. What a stupid shit.
Fellow comment-makers: everything is done for a reason. It doesn’t have to be a good one, just a reason.
How is this remotely interesting? “Influencer” huh? This society is doomed
Russian guy, eh?!
Figures!
Hey Ruskie boy,
I have a roadcourse event coming up. You’re welcomed to tape yourself to my roof but only 1 roll of tape allowed and no tie down straps. It will be lots of fun for you with speeds up to 150 mph and lots of high speed corners. You can do all the tik toks you want, if you can manage to hold on to your phone. 🤣😂😱
Did y’all watch the video or even look at your own screenshot? He’s clearly being strapped to the car and not being held solely by duct tape.
The point. It takes so very little talent or substance to entertain these young people today. I highly doubt alot of Gen X or earlier are entertained buy this stupidity. The guy had to do something to compete with the Milk Crate challenge no doubt. Both situations plain stupidity.
It use to be mentally challenged individuals were bullied or dared into these stunts. Now, able body and sound minded clowns, do it for influencer status. Go figure.
It seems the internet has done as much harm as good. The blind leading the blind online.
What an idiot, who in the world would do such a life threatening risk. Crazy people these days 😬👎
An aimless society elevates garbage to high art
