Two teenagers died after falling from trains in San Francisco in the past two weeks. Now, their grieving mothers are sounding the alarm about a dangerous trend of young people climbing onto the top of BART trains and “surfing” them, and posting stunt videos on social media.

While I agree that things like that shouldn’t be on social media, I feel like this is definitely more of a personality/upbringing issue.

99 percent of people who see videos like that immediately understand that’s a very foolish thing to do. Only the stupidly dumb would consider actually doing that.
