Man climbs into six-foot grave

The youngster‘s friend went to witness the unusual job position and filmed a video that he posted on TikTok. Many South Africans were outraged by what they saw and explained that the young man was bringing bad luck upon himself.
The friend who posted the now-viral video posted the clip with the caption:
“POV: Your homeboy’s family owns a funeral parlour, and he decided to check if the coffins would land softly.”
The brave man fulfilled his curiosity, with his family watching his foolish behaviour. South Africans shared that it is only acceptable for a twin to go into the grave before their sibling’s coffin enters. @Whela🩷 said:
“It might be that he is a twin. I’ve read somewhere that twins must go to the grave before the other twin gets buried. It’s a ritual.”
