Instagram couple slammed for stupid and dangerous photo stunt

An Instagram-famous couple have been slammed as 'stupid' for taking a risky photograph hanging off a moving train.

Backpackers Jean and Camille from Brussels shocked fans after uploading a snap of them locked in a heated embrace while on a train in Sri Lanka.

The pair described the photo as one of their 'wildest kisses' and said the photos shows they have 'blind trust in each other, no matter what' and are 'madly in love'.

While hundreds of followers wrote positive comments, many criticised the couple for such a 'dangerous' stunt.

'Very stupid,' fumed one Instagram user.

'This is how people die. Wouldn't call this adventure, but stupid, risking life for likes on Instagram,' another wrote.

One even said: 'Hope you guys have a good life insurance plan.'

It's not the first time the Instagram couple have risked grievous injury or death for the perfect shot.

One photo shows Jean and Camille standing on an old, extremely high wall, barefoot, in Jaipur, India, overlooking the town below.

And there have been dozens of copycat photographs popping up on Instagram too, with other couples posing in dangerous spots.

One couple, Kelly and Kody, became a viral sensation after sharing a photo of them teetering on the edge of an infinity pool in Bali.

🇺🇸 Our greatest strength in life, our most important principle, is discernment. Only you can know your body, feel the space around you and understand your capabilities. We would all do well to remember this, knowing that not every action, style or path we witness through others is or should be, replicated. At the end of the day we are to hold ourselves accountable for the decisions that we make. ※ 🇵🇦 La mejor fortaleza en la vida, el moral más importante, es discernimiento. Solo puedes entender tu cuerpo, sentir el espacio que te rodea y comprender tus capacidades. Haríamos bien en recorder este, sabiendo que no toda acción, estilo o camino que presenciamos por otros es o debe ser, replicado. Al final del dia, somos responsables de las decisiones que hacemos. ※ Thank you @kayonjungleresort for an unforgettable experience! ※ ※ #balitravel #couplesgoals #ilovetravel #bestplaces #baligasm #ubud #balitravel #novios #junglelife #viajeros #wetravel #travelinspo #adventurous #indonesiaparadise #speechlessplaces #infinitypool #welltraveled #earthpix #baliholiday
