I just saw massive closures on the Williamsburg Bridge yesterday on Citizen due to “train collision with person.” Didn’t even make the connection with subway surfing till I realized it was the J/Z.
In my opinion, this isn’t dissimilar from the Tide-Pod trend in that it’s a social fire and as long as the dominant message on social media is “woah look at how dumb-yet-cool those subway surfers are”, it’s gonna keep fanning the flames of that fire.
I don’t know what the best way to spread the message that “If you think subway surfing is a good idea, be ready to end up as yet another ‘train collision with person.’” but it’s definitely a sobering reminder that the best(and coolest 😎) way to subway surf is in RDR2.
