A bodybuilder defends his risky stunt after filming push-ups inside a moving plane engine, ignoring concerns about its dangers.
Australian bodybuilder Preslie Ginoski gained attention for doing push-ups in a moving airplane engine.
This stunt took place at Sydney Airport and has drawn both admiration and criticism from viewers online.
Bodybuilder goes viral for doing push-ups in a moving plane engine.
Preslie Ginoski, who is 23 years old, posted a video on TikTok showing him performing push-ups in the engine of a jet.
He captioned the video, “Quick pump before flight.” The video quickly went viral but was later removed from TikTok.
However, many news outlets have shared clips of the stunt.
In the video, Ginoski appears to be having fun while showcasing his strength.
Yet, many people have expressed concerns about the safety of such an act.
Jumping inside a moving airplane engine is generally considered very dangerous.
Critics argue that this kind of behavior sets a bad example, especially for younger viewers.
Airport responds to the ‘dangerous’ stunt
Sydney Airport officials were not pleased with Ginoski’s actions.
They released a statement condemning the stunt, emphasizing that safety is their top priority.
The airport has strict rules to ensure the safety of passengers and workers, and they take potential safety breaches seriously.
A spokesperson for the airport stated, “Sydney Airport has zero tolerance for unsafe behavior on the airfield.”
They indicated that they would investigate the incident further and take appropriate action.
“The safety of passengers, airport workers, and airport operations is our highest priority, and we have strict protocols in place to ensure compliance with all safety policies.
“We will take appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation.”
Bodybuilder slammed for defending his risky push-up stunt inside a moving plane engine
After facing backlash, Ginoski defended his decision to post the video.
He explained that the airplane was parked and not in operation at the time of filming.
“The plane was parked on the bay and wasn’t moving until the next day,” he said in an interview.
He mentioned that he filmed the stunt last June while he was employed at the airport.
Ginoski claimed that many people misunderstood the situation, thinking the engine was running while he was inside it.
“There’s a lot of confusion about the fact that it was moving in the wind,” he clarified.
Ginoski reassured his followers that safety was his top concern and that he ensured everything was secure before filming.
“Flight attendants and pilots always sit in the engines, it’s just because they’re taking photos that the turbines look stable.
“But it’s very common for people to sit inside the jet engine if it is cleared and safe to do so.”
Mixed reactions online
The stunt has received a mixed response on social media.
Some people found the video entertaining and praised Ginoski’s strength and bravery.
Others, however, criticized him for being reckless and promoting dangerous behavior.
I always feel sorry for the cleaners who have to remove the mince meat, when a stunt like this goes wrong, one user said.
Its a Federal crime to interfere with any aircraft and if not arrested the Police are not doing their job, the second user wrote.
How did this happen at a major Australian airport without anyone knowing? The third user said.
The only thing that social media platforms have proved is how many numpties there are out there. It really is scary, another user commented.
He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he’s certainly the biggest, someone said.
Jail him. I bet the airline would have to check the engine to make sure nothing was put into the air-intake, the fourth user said.
