U-train surfing in Berlin-Friedrichshain: Risks for young people

underground surfing, a dangerous trend activity among young people, led to a serious accident in Berlin-Friedrichshain last Sunday. An 18-year-old adolescent suffered life-threatening injuries when he fell on the roof of a subway while surfing and fell into the track bed.

The incident occurred at the Warschauer Straße underground station when witnesses observed how three young people moved on the subway roof in the track area. The accident in which one of the surfers got stuck on a metal frame led to the subway traffic had to be set for almost an hour.

The police warn of the extreme risks of subway surfing and emphasizes the life-threatening consequences of such rash actions. Young people should be aware that such activities are not only punishable, but can also endanger their lives.

It remains to be hoped that this incident serves as a warning and encourages young people to make responsibility decisions to ensure their security.
