Durban is hitting it out the park when it comes to taking ‘life events’ and making them as extra and dangerous as humanly possible.

When people aren’t chaining their cars to street poles, they’re using them to drive over refuse bags full of coloured powder to announce the status of the genitals of their unborn children, or more recently, to propose marriage by placing both groom and potential bride in danger.

These videos tend to find their way onto Dala U Crew, a Facebook page that’s worth a look if random content is your thing.

On to the proposal.

Just what every girl wants – to be trapped in the middle of a bit of tarmac while cars and motorcycles hurtle towards and around her at breakneck speeds.

He makes up for it by giving her more balloons at the end.

If you care, this video has gone viral, which means that we can expect more silly stunts as people try to compete with it.

Stay safe out there, unmarried people. Getting hitched is fast becoming an extreme sport.
