Videos of so-called train surfers, i.e. people who illegally ride in or on trains, appear time and again on social networks. It is often young people who are looking for clicks. But the illegal ‘extreme sport’ always ends in death.
If you do a little online browsing, you can even find outdated websites with precise instructions and information for train surfers. It is said to be an extreme sport, like skydiving or mountain climbing. With one big advantage: it is free and therefore affordable for everyone. A ‘hobby’ that is seen as both a thrill and a test of courage. After all, caution is still required: good preparation is the most important thing, but overconfidence is poison.
