    Deathwish teen lies on track and films train as it passes over him

    Darwin much?

    A DEATHWISH teenager has filmed himself lying on rail tracks and letting a train pass over him and posted it on a video sharing website.
    The sick stunt is part of a new craze in which kids film dangerous tricks to share with their friends
    VIDEO ON LINK

    I have to imagine that could be construed as a crime...interfering with public transportation or something, and the dude filmed it...granted the train easily passed over him as he knew it would...

    Hey, gotta love our trashy mags/news columns. The Guardian, on the otherhand, is pretty upmarket, believe it or not.

    Agreed. A guy at college received community service for putting a breeze block on a line as a kid. Hazard of the job I guess being a driver, but he could have caused a flippin' heart attack/derailment. The guy is clearly a cock. If there had been any loose, hanging parts he could very well have ended up here as an article. That is assuming he can actually operate a computer.

    arent some trains' front and back lower than the rest of the train - where he could have been dragged or hit? ugh i dont know - when people do stupid things like this, i really have to believe that they are suicidal.&nbsp;

    Are deathwish teens really such a new phenomenon?&nbsp; I guess the videotaping of the actions may be new, but when I was growing up we used to drive rural roads with out lights off and run intersections if we couldn't see other cars coming (something my Illini hubby used to do, too).&nbsp; We also used to train hop, jump from the bridge to backs of trains, tie lunch trays to the back of cars and ride them like sleds, play chicken with cars, cliff dive. . .

    I suppose if we'd videotaped those times, we'd be deathwish kids, too.&nbsp; Just seems like good ol' sensationalism.&nbsp; Also seems like you're just going to encourage more kids if you publish the kids' videos and names.&nbsp; Total instant stardom!

    WOW I did a bunch of F'd up things when I was young, but it all pales in comparison. Sometimes I am glad that I have an autistic child that will live with me forever.&nbsp; I wonder what his folks are thinking.....I mean, they have to have seen this.....????????

    TWINS who unwittingly got married after they were separated at birth were victims of a quirk of fate “cruel beyond belief,” it emerged last night.

    I seen that on the page when i clicked anyone else read this somewhere other than the sun?

    I think as you say, crazy stunts and wreckless teens have been around forever, it's just the forms of media available nowadays to capture the 'moment of glory'. I don't know whether it seems more shocking because we don't need to visualise it, we can witness it, or if it's because teens are generally seen to be all the more irresponsible these day's in the absence of having to work to support themselves and their families like before - who knows. I don't think The Sun have sensationalized in this instance [and hell yeah, they're usually good at it], because the kid literally must have a deathwish and the little punk will hopefully be made to feel like a total arse at some point because of this. As for copy-cat attempts, if he encourages any half-wits to take up the 'challenge' then that's sad. On the otherhand, if it goes wrong, that's one less idiot of a gene donor we have to worry about.

    How much you want to bet that kid soiled himself? That front bumper thing barely missed him.

    Right? I think it was one of those things that seemed like a cool idea at first, but when you heard the train rumbling up on your back you might have second thoughts....like people who hang themselves? &quot;Maybe this was a bad idea-OH SHIT!!!&quot;

    Once you set the wheels in motion there's no turning back....

    At the end of the video, he doesn't jump up and celebrate, I think he scared the shit out of himself.

    'Deathwish' is just an word people use to label folk who take crazy risks. The link was to footage on a UK Newspaper's website
