2nd Teenager Dies While ‘Surfing’ on BART Train

His mother said the popularity of a previous video on social media fueled his desire to do dangerous stunts.

Another teen died while attempting a social media stunt called “train surfing,” near the Daly City Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station around 9:30 a.m. Feb. 11, according to local media reports.

The boy was attempting to ride on top of a moving train to record a video, as was 19-year-old Daniel Baran who died Jan. 29 trying to do the same.
