Frightening photos of Russian youth dashing in front of a speeding train and dropping flat in the four-foot so that the train passes safely over them can be found here. The website lists them in the category "funny" - potentially suicidal would be my assessment. And my heart goes out to the drivers of these trains, for whom it is definitely not "funny".

Well, we have "train surfers" here, and I am sure one day it will be a recognised extreme sport. I do however feel sorry for the drivers, I suspect it ages you in seconds. One more reason for a driverless train?
