He then swings back and forth, clearly enjoying himself despite the obvious danger.

Sparks fly from the connections as he moves, but he remains completely unfazed by the electric discharge.

After several swings, his cap falls off, and he pauses to stand and stare at the electricity installation.

The video sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many people condemning his reckless disregard for personal safety.

Who's the mysterious Kenyan 'ghost rider'?

In other news, a mysterious Kenyan motorcyclist left many stunned after a video surfaced showing him reaching extreme speeds on a busy highway.

Known as @Bike_Siege on Instagram, the daredevil frequently shares clips of himself speeding on public roads, skillfully leaning into sharp corners.

He never reveals his identity, always wearing a helmet that conceals his face.

In one video, the biker was seen navigating through traffic with precision, his face-mounted camera capturing the rapid acceleration.

He initially hit 280 km/h but was forced to reduce speed due to congestion.

The incident sparked debate on road safety and the increasing trend of thrill-seeking behavior among young riders on Kenyan highways, where such speeds pose significant danger to both riders and other road users.
