WATCH: Indian fan falls, gets hospitalized following celebratory act of T20 World Cup win, disturbing video goes viral

It remains undeniable that the oft-repeated phrase “enjoy responsibly” should be deeply acknowledged and strictly adhered to. A stark reminder of this principle came moments after India's triumphant end to their 11-year ICC title drought with a narrow seven-run victory over South Africa in Barbados. However, the incident that transpired did not occur anywhere near Barbados, but rather more than 6500 km away, in Queensbury, the USA. 

A man was attempting to affix the Indian flag to a pole positioned at the entrance of the Queensbury Underground Station. Disturbing footage, as provided by The Sun, indicated that another individual was seemingly aiding him before the sudden fall occurred. Approximately, ten individuals standing on a circular platform below rushed to the perimeter as they witnessed the individual lose his grip and descend into a gathering of cricket fans below.
