Eight years after a biker fell to his death from the Vile Parle flyover, the authorities are yet to learn their lesson. At the time, the safety wall was not high enough, and the biker was flung right over it after losing control of his two-wheeler. While iron railings were installed after that accident, a major portion of this safety barrier is missing once again, putting motorists at grave risk.

Bikers tend to speed on open stretches and flyovers. They wend their way through cars and try to nose ahead, using the advantage of a slighter vehicle. With this gap in the safety railings, a speeding biker could lose control and fall off the bridge.
