Yes!

And I thought train surfers in Melbourne were bad enough.

What?

Its actually pretty dangerous to do that, if your gonna train surf. You gotta have a lot of skill.

I remember watching this video of this kid surfing on the side of a boxcar while his friend recorded. Then he hit something and he fell off, couldn't tell if he died or survived.

In the UK, there is live electric rail. Basically, if you gonna surf to the side. Don't do it as you may touch the live rail and electrocute yourself.

I saw this one video on Facebook where this guy was train surfing on a coal train in New York and once he was caught by the police, he almost stepped on the third rail and the officer was telling him not to.

He could have died when he was surfing on the train, he also could have died when he stepped on the third rail.

I managed to find the video on Youtube. Although I wouldn't say that the kid that jumped off of the bridge is doing the same thing as this guy, not that I support either of them though.



Speaking of the kid who jumped off of the bridge......

Now THIS is how you jump onto a train.
