Subway Surfing: Worst Idea Ever
It's been two years since the last incident, but subway surfing is back. A 23 year-old was injured when he fell off the roof of an A train headed to Broad Channel station in the wee hours. According to the Post, a witness says the victim hurtled "through the air...landing in the roadbed along the southbound track." The past subway surfing incidents have been instigated by booze, bets, or both, but they just sound like a death wish. And as riding a subway may or may not already be a death wish, why? Also, is this makes Gothamist wonder if the police check the roofs of subway cars these days. The victim is in critical condition, with skull and pelvic injuries.

Oh, great. As if the MTA needed another excuse to lock all the doors between cars.
Maybe I'm just cranky because it's early in the morning, but I say let Darwinism take its course here. Hey, right wingers, tell me this: does this prove "intelligent design" to you? Seems to me God could have done a much better job on this guy.
"Victim," yeah, of his own stupidity.
On the contrary, I don't think gravity alone can explain the efficiency with which he was eliminated from the gene pool. I propose 'intelligent falling'.
Natural selection!
brightliner, you don't sound too intelligent yourself, i love how only "right wingers" apparently believe in a God....there is such thing as just plain stupid (see: story)
Okay, this is one incident where I will blame the victim.
I think certain societal parasites should be offered exclusive seating on the rooftops - let the chips fall...
Jeez, people, maybe homeboy had a fight with his girlfriend or something... people get depressed, you know.
