“He was either climbing up or down between cars” before falling, an MTA employee at the scene told The Post.

NYC Transit issued a statement via Twitter later in the evening, saying “We’re sorry to report that the person killed at Queensboro Plaza had been surfing on top of the train. 7 and N trains continue to bypass Queensboro in both directions while NYPD continues their investigation.”

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I think it’s mostly a thrill ride thing.

Apparently this stupidity is a world wide phenomenon and if one does a search there is an animated series and videogames to boot.

Not one of your better ideas. I guess he was wanting to show that he had guts.

I think he’s a recipient, not just a nominee, now.
The stupid stuff that stupid people do...

Thus, does his bucket list end.

It depends on his prior reproductive status. No kids and he wins!

I’m generally happy just riding inside of the train cars in NYC, although if it’s at night, and/or a bad area, I also might consider other options.

No, jumping the turnstile instead of paying is stealing.

Surfing is just another potentially fatal form of thrill seeking.
