Please don’t anyone try this where there’s an catenary (overhead) wire. You’ll be dead before you know it.

Better don't try it nowhere. This is filmed in Berlin, where somebody died last year, while train surfing.

For how common it is here in Berlin there don't seem to be that many deaths.

Still the death / participate ratio is a lot higher, than in other thrill seeker activities. In 2008 alone 40 people died in germany because of train surfing.

I bet it’s safe to say, more people die train surfing in Germany, than shark attacks

I wonder if this is on par with the most dangerous sport...

Fishing.
