In 2023, a ride-hailing driver inserted the vehicle's gear shift into his anus in Rio de Janeiro, and the video went viral. The gear shift broke and remained stuck inside the man, who was unable to remove it on his own, and the SAMU (emergency medical service) had to be called. According to witnesses, the Fire Department also had to be called to remove the object. The police cordoned off the area to protect the man, blocking traffic.
