Jumping from one carriage to another on a moving train.
The latest madness comes from New York, where two 14-year-old boys died within a week of what has been dubbed "subway surfing ", or the very risky "challenge", which is catching on among teenagers , which involves climbing on top of moving subway cars.
According to local media reports, the two teenagers lost their lives in two separate incidents: the latest occurred last Thursday, when police were called to a subway station in Queens and found a young man named Jevon Fraser unconscious with injuries "compatible with a fall from a great height". All attempts to save his life were useless.
A few days before a similar tragedy in a Brooklyn subway station, where two other 14-year-olds were found, lifeless and injured after falling from a convoy: one didn't make it, the other risks being paralysed.
A phenomenon, as mentioned, which is spreading, to the point that the authorities of the Big Apple have launched numerous appeals, aimed in particular at young people, to avoid endangering their safety and their lives in very risky and crazy acrobatics.
