Indonesian kids must REALLY be bored.

Train surfing?

What? If you tried knocking a kid off a train in Alabama with a concrete ball on a chain, the AFL-CIO and every dead beat ambulance chaser in the county would be after you.

Looks like there isn't any room inside the train anyways...

Like a really serious version of Wipe Out.

The difference is, these aren't "bored kids" - just folks trying to get somewhere...

A couple friends of mine in high school lived next to a train yard, and the tracks just so happened to go right past our high school(less than a mile away). They would hop a train almost every morning to get to school. One morning the jumped on one that must have been much smaller or lighter than usual, and by the time it got to the school it was probably going 25mph. They jumped off and came to school all dirty, skinned up, and bleeding. I don't think they jumped any more trains after that.

To prevent people from doing something dangerous... Kill them.

In my opinion, they're not really deterring anything, they're just making it more of a challenge, like Ninja Warrior. Who doesn't like Ninja Warrior?

LOL

...and it's always a "tragedy" when something awful happens. Just like when a 150 person capacity ferry with 800 people on it sink & they wonder how it could've been avoided.

GPS is my hero

Looks like they just need to add a LOT more cars to the train.

Wow. That's a lot of people on the roof. Assuming the trains are full, maybe they need to run a few more trains?

If the trains aren't full, either concrete balls or Lollobrigida.

They just saw Teen Wolf.

If you will note, they only plan on putting them at the entrances and exits of stations, thus the train will be going rather slow at the time.

So, they can probably just push them out of the way. But of course, there is always the "push the branch out of the way" effect... it's the second guy that takes the hit.

Exactly. At this point, just let 'em surf the damn train.
