It has become an extremely dangerous trend known as buffer riding where people hang onto train carriages while they are moving which appears to be particularly serious in . Police in New South Wales attempted a crackdown on the activity which is thought to be done just to get views and popularity on social media.

Tragically authorities in the state reported in 2023 that 11 people had died from the dangerous and illegal activity over the previous five years, reported.

And a representative for Transport for NSW reportedly said: “This type of behaviour is not only illegal, but it is also reckless and extremely dangerous. Buffer riding is life-threatening for those involved and can have deeply traumatic effects on the people around them, and rail workers, if and when something bad happens.

"This risky behaviour has already resulted in serious injuries on the rail network. Sydney Trains work with NSW Police to reduce anti-social behaviour and criminal incidents that occur across our network.”

This latest clip which has gone viral on social media has received more than 22,000 views. But many people have been critical of the youths involved when commenting.

“This is not even funny. This is literally idiotic behaviour. NSW Police should be informed of this Illegal and Dangerous Behaviour,” said one person. “Absolute morons,” said another, and a further wrote: “It won’t be long until one is hurt and fighting for life.”
