Train Surfing, Bangladesh

In Germany, the practice was made popular on TV in the 1990s. There it was called "S-Bahn Surfing". Slowly, the former train surfing culture changed and integrated into the German graffiti culture. The phenomenon was forgotten until the millennium, but in 2005 it was rediscovered by a group from Frankfurt, Germany. The leader of the crew who calls himself "the trainrider" famously surfed the InterCityExpress, the fastest train in Germany. An internet video claimed that he died a year later from an incurable form of leukemia, but later "the trainrider" revealed in an interview of Sat1 Akte 08 that this video was made by a fan and the story of his death was a hoax. S-Bahn Surfing is a risky undertaking - there were 40 dead teenagers in Germany in 2008 alone.
An English teenager was killed after hitting a bridge while train surfing in November 2002. A similar fate hit the Danish train surfer Martin Harris on 12 May 2007. After the incident, a campaign against train surfing was launched by two individuals.
