  • Introduction to Video Content
  • A teenage boy in Toronto suffered a catastrophic head injury while attempting to climb on top of a moving subway train. The incident occurred at Wharton Station and resulted in the subway being shut down for nearly four hours. The 16-year-old boy's injuries were initially considered life-threatening but he has since been upgraded to stable condition. This incident has brought attention to the dangerous and illegal trend of train surfing stunts, which the TTC has previously investigated. Social media videos have shown individuals participating in these stunts, jumping off trains as they entered stations. The TTC has emphasized the risks associated with these activities and the need for public safety. While such behavior may have been commonplace in our own youth, it is crucial to recognize the serious consequences that can result from these actions. Efforts should be made to discourage and educate individuals about the dangers of train surfing in order to prevent further injuries and incidents.
