A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media, with viewers reacting to the tourist's surprising calm demeanor.

Another person can be seen in the video, seemingly unsure of how to assist him. The video, shared on Instagram, playfully references Batman, with the caption, "When you go to Sri Lanka… and Batman falls on you."
