Trend Spotting: Train-surfing hits Australia.

Kids today love the train-surfing! Fresh air, quick transportation, and a myriad ways to die: the impact of falling, being run over and crushed, electrocution by the rails, you name it! From Australia's Sunday Mail:

The most dramatic scene is when a youth waits for disembarking passengers to leave the platform before jumping on to the back of a train just as it departs the station.

He crouches down and holds on to a thin piece of metal on the back of the train before turning and raising his finger to the cameraman.

The train then speeds out of the station with the youth clinging on for his life.

[...] Fatalities in recent times have been linked to train-surfing – a teen on the North Coast line last year fell from the outside of a moving train, and a 20-year-old was found atop a Victorian train, possibly electrocuted.

The DVD, is by a group called the "AEROHOLiCS" and they boast a sequel will be posted online soon. "We'll be back," they say.
