Influencers nowadays can go to any extent just for some views. In one such incident, a bodybuilder and fitness influencer recorded a video of him doing push-ups in front of a moving plane engine at Australia's Sydney airport. Preslie Ginoski faced backlash after the video went viral.
Before doing push-ups, Ginoski told his viewers that he was doing a "quick pump before flight", reported The Sun. In the video, the 23-year-old fitness influencer seemed unfazed by the propellers of the plane.
As per the report, the stunt was performed last year, but its video was uploaded recently. "Sydney Airport has zero tolerance for unsafe behaviour on the airfield, and we take all reports of potential safety breaches extremely seriously," A spokeswoman for Sydney Airport told Daily Mail Australia.
However, Ginoski defended his action. He said that he was just entertaining people. The fitness influencer further clarified that the stunt was not performed on the moving aircraft or with other passengers around.

"The plane was parked on a bay and wasn't moving until the next day," the influencer said as reported by The Sun. The stunt was filmed in June last year. Ginoski further claimed that the wind had moved the propellers and it was very common for people to sit inside a jet engine.
Notably, the Sydeny-based DJ no longer works at the airport and decided to post the video on TikTok. For the unversed, jet engines have a hugely powerful suction force.
The video was later removed from the platform.
After the video went viral, social media users started to slam the fitness influencer. One of the Facebook users even called the act "stupid, while another user called Ginoski "dumb".
