Livshotande Subway Surfing: Två ungdomar i Wien skadade
On Tuesday, a regrettable incident occurred in the cadastral community of Schönbrunn in Vienna, in which two young people were seriously injured by a risky and illegal behavior, known as "surfing under the subway". This dangerous practice includes standing on the roof of a moving subway wagon, an activity that has often led to serious accidents.
On this day, a total of four young people, including two from the Czech Republic and two from Austria, between the ages of 13 and 18, were involved in this risky stunt. They turned a cell phone video from their adventure, which is now being spread on social media. In this clip you can see how the young people kneel on their wagon, spread their arms and make themselves flat to avoid a tunnel that approaches them dangerously. Tragically, two of them underestimated the speed of the approaching pedestrian bridge at the “Schönbrunn” U4 station and collided with this. Shortly afterwards the video broke out.The two injured young people - 17 and 18 years old - are now in a hospital, with one of them being in mortal danger, according to the treating doctors and the other is in a critical condition. It is reported that the impact was so violent that resuscitation was necessary to save the life of one of the boys.
According to reports, the other two young people-a 13-year-old and a 16-year-old Austrian-initially wanted to flee the width after the accident, but returned to the scene of the accident a little later. This incident illustrates the potential dangers associated with such actions.
The Viennese lines, the operators of the subway in the capital, have taken over the investigation of the incident and emphasize the life-threatening consequences of such tests of courage. "This tragic accident shows how life-threatening such reckless actions or tests of courage are. No tictok video or selfie in the world is worth climbing on a subway or tram!"
In order to prevent such risky practices, the Viennese lines rely on prevention and education. In cooperation with the educational directorate and the police, workshops are carried out in schools to draw attention to the dangers of subway surfing and similar methods.
The subway in Vienna usually moves at a speed of around 32.47 km/h, but can also reach speeds of up to 80 km/h. When entering the Schönbrunn station, the train speed is about 50 km/h, which significantly increases the risk of falling or a collision.
Such incidents throw a light on the need to educate young people about the dangers of risky behavior. This is not only important for your security, but also for the well -being of all passengers in public transport. More about this incident and the ongoing actions of the Viennese lines for prevention can be found in a detailed report on www.watson.ch read.
