A scene worthy of the Olympics or just an urban fantasy? The video of a man in a jumpsuit, helmet screwed on his head, indulging in ziplining in the Lyon metro, has shaken the internet and triggered a wave of laughter.

Originally published on the Instagram account Les Gens à Lyon, the crazy sequence shows our urban hero, harnessed as if for a high mountain expedition, joyfully sliding along an improvised rope, hanging from a metro bar. A hilarious and totally improbable spectacle that took place in the subway cars of line B or D, according to the most knowledgeable sources from the seats mentioned by Le Progrès.

If one were to think that our underground acrobat is preparing for a zip-lining competition or a last-minute tree climbing check, the reality is quite different. This colorful performance, immortalized on January 26th, quickly went viral on social media, attracting the attention of local and international media.

Reposted on various platforms, the video quickly reached new heights of popularity, accumulating millions of views in record time. A meteoric rise that even crossed borders, capturing the attention of foreign accounts fascinated by this unusual escapade. However, this moment of lightness and fantasy represents a blatant violation of the rules set by TCL.

According to article 18 of the internal regulations of public transport in Lyon, it is strictly forbidden to disturb the tranquility of other passengers or hinder the smooth running of the service. A transgression of this rule...Fooling around on public transportation can be costly, as the TCL is equipped with a surveillance system and control teams ready to issue a fixed fine of €135.
