It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

What's the problem here

I saw you do that on the metro into Houston City Centre last October....just to save you from paying the $1 ticket

There's a guy in Germany that surfs on the ICE.

Nutters, and it'll be the poor sods that'll have to pick his parts back up that I feel sorry for.

Not on the scale of stupidity of 'train surfing' but about the same IQ.

I present "Skateboard Mario"

I think this young man needs to go back to school and read up on that inertia thing.

I have never been on the trains in Australia. I have, however been on the trains in Japan and Korea. There is ALWAYS room for one more.

Tell me about it, on my forth day of driving trains in revenue service, I come across the remains of a guy who had been hit by a train at around 100kph. Needless to say he was beyond help!

The fact that he was dumb enough to do it and think it's fun, shows his level of intelligence! Maybe he would like to see what happens in the contest of train v person, and see who wins!

There is a big reason that there are fences and warnings near train tracks!
