A Saudi man was trending on social media for all the wrong reasons in the Arab country. 
The pictures of the man standing at the edge of a 3,500 metre Fifa mountain with his car perched precariously on the steep incline was shared widely on Twitter. The pictures were later published by Ajel newspaper in Saudi Arabia
The newspaper also cautioned youngsters in the Kingdom from taking pictures that look "courageous" but are in fact a danger to their lives. 
This is not the first time a reckless incident has gone viral on social media from Saudi Arabia. 
In the past, Saudis on social media have said that drifters performing dangerous stunts should be either jailed or recruited by the army.
Last year in December, a short clip showing Saudi daredevils jumping into a tilted car moving at high speed on two wheels went viral.
Some on Social Media have called the man "reckless" while others are in disbelief and think he had his pictures photoshopped or taken from an angle that made the stunt look more terrifying than it was.
