In 2023, city and state officials launched a public information campaign, dubbed “Subway Surfing Kills − Ride Inside, Stay Alive,” to deter the dangerous behavior among some youth. New York City has also sued five social media companies, citing harm to youth mental health and subway surfing as an example. NYPD has also deployed drones to monitor subway lines.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority has worked with social media companies, including TikTok and Instagram, to remove videos of people riding outside of trains. Through June of 2025, over 1,800 videos had been taken down

25There really doe become a point where it gets into Darwin Awards territory.
There are plenty of folks doing incredibly dangerous work that is a benefit to society. These clowns just want interwebs clout.
Does it say something about our society that people do this stupid shit, sure. But there is a point where individual responsibility is applicable.

Re: the most dangerous job in the world
26While I agree it's Darwin Award territory, IMO, the larger story is how celebrity driven this all is, meaning they all want to be celebrities. Without that, they would not be doing these idiotic things. Clearly these folks see themselves as being without any talent, so the stupider action gets the clicks.Gramsci wrote: Sun Oct 05, 2025 1:08 pm There really doe become a point where it gets into Darwin Awards territory.

27the mother of one dead subway surfer was able to proceed with her lawsuit against tiktok, but not against the MTA.
if i were tiktok's (greedy heartless) lawyer i would just turn the blame around on her. "fine, your 16 year old boy was not responsible! let's find out why...."

Less about social media clout and more youthful stupidity.
There are a few deaths per year in the UK news of someone falling off something etc. while filming. So it’s not just an American phenomenon.

It's not surprising to hear that this "balconing" became a "thing" on Ibiza. Makes perfect sense. Apparently the Brits rank number one. Congratulations!
Oh shit it happened a couple months ago, this guy was 26.
