A phone-distracted hoverboard rider took a tumble after a rope snag in China.

The video was filmed in Dongguan City in Guangdong Province on September 2.

A man's casual hoverboard ride took a dangerous turn when he was caught off-guard by a rope, resulting in an unexpected lock around his throat. Disturbingly engrossed in his smartphone and oblivious to the world around him, the individual never saw the hazard coming.

Eyewitnesses watched in horror, fearing he would topple over and take a nasty fall. However, showing quick reflexes, the man managed to grab the rope just in time, bringing himself to a seated position on the ground, averting a more severe tumble.

Fortunately, the man walked away without any significant harm.
