In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a social media trend known as train surfing brought a 13-year-old boy to the brink of death. In an incident that occurred on Monday, the boy managed to survive despite being electrocuted twice.
Footage taken at the Anchieta Train Station shows the boy lying on top of the train, motionless after the first electric shock. Passengers on the platform called for help in panic, while a brave young man took action to rescue the child.
The second electric shock during the rescue attempt caused a large explosion. The child, whose name has not been disclosed, was eventually rescued and taken to the hospital. A statement made on Tuesday morning indicated that his condition was serious.
The Brazilian train company Supervia emphasized that train surfing, which has recently become popular among young people, is extremely dangerous. It was reminded that six people lost their lives in New York this year for the same reason.
Experts warned families to prevent this trend, which is popular on social media. The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is trying to raise awareness among young people with its "Ride Inside, Stay Alive" campaign and is requesting the removal of such videos from social media platforms.
