Teen who barely survived subway surfing warns others to stop that stupid shyt

[bnew]

It's baffling how these Gen Z ppl keep crashing out with this subway surfing nonsense. They see ppl get killed subway surfing yet they continue to do it.

these kids have low iq parents and they aren't prepared for the real world. Sterilization of alot of stupid people would solve this

Let them idiots keep doing it

No, because when they fall and become trackkill they delay the hell out of the trains that are on that track. Then people trying to get around have to wait forever for workers to scrape the carcass off of the tracks before they can go where they need to. Need to be committed doing that dumb shyt.

shyt back when I was in 7th and 8th grade, I don't know what movie came out but teens were notorious for clinging on to the hood or roof of a car and their buddies driving around. Not too fast like 20mph but like 5 maybe 10. But they hit the brakes too hard, or turn to sharp and the people fly off the car. Typically results in a head injury. By the time I got to 9/10th grade a student in the city died. A few injured, all separate occurrences. One kid fukked his head up, but lived. Went to every school and told the story. A few seconds of fun, a decision that was spur of the moment.

He preached to the kids not to ever jump on someone's car and preached to the drivers if someone ever jumps on or hangs on to your car to not move.

It was at least a decade before I ever heard of mfs doing that stupid shyt again. I'm sure some fools probably still did it but mfs weren't getting rushed to the ER after school or in the summer and no one died.

I recently heard kids were doing that shyt again.

I'm glad he heeded the wake up call but I'm sorry...


I'm on Hypnotic, exotic
Just hopped onto a trolley
Got this land all around me
And the wind is right behind me
On this sub, I'm surfin
This sub, I'm surfin
This sub, I'm surfin
I fell and now I'm hurtin

NYPD launches essay contest asking teens to help stop subway surfing​

04/10/25

The NYPD is asking New York City teens to help tackle a deadly and growing public safety concern: subway surfing.
High school students in grades 9 through 12 are invited to enter the annual “Police Commissioner for a Day” essay contest, co-hosted by the NYPD and the Police Athletic League. The prompt asks students to imagine themselves as commissioner and outline how they would work with MTA officials to prevent young people from subway surfing.
The top winner will receive $500, a personalized plaque and a $250 donation to their school. They’ll also get the chance to meet Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and spend a day with top NYPD leadership during an awards ceremony on June 4. Additional titles — including deputy commissioner, bureau chief and precinct commander — will be awarded to other finalists.
Essays must be submitted as PDF or Word documents by April 25 via the PAL's website.
The contest comes amid growing concern over subway surfing, which has surged in recent years. In 2024, there were 229 arrests and 15 injuries related to the stunt, according to NYPD data. Six people died, most of them teenagers. That marked an increase from 135 arrests and five deaths in 2023.
As of Feb. 9, the NYPD had already made 17 arrests tied to subway surfing and responded to two non-fatal injuries, though no deaths had been recorded so far this year.

City officials have blamed social media platforms for glamorizing the behavior, prompting takedown efforts, drone surveillance and outreach campaigns.
“We see social media as the major driver of this behavior,” NYPD Chief of Transit Joseph Gulotta said at a City Council hearing last year. “We see from surfers trying to capture and share edgy content on social media platforms is a phenomenon that we did not see in decades that passed.”
