Such "entertainment" often ends in injuries or even death. Ukrainians were reminded that last year, as a result of violations of the rules of conduct on the railway, in particular due to clinging to trains, 28 children were injured and 9 died.
Ukrainians were also reminded that electric current, which is 27,000 V, is deadly even without contact. In addition, there is a risk of falling from the train during turns, or a person may be dragged under the train.
But that's not all: clinging to trains is punishable by a fine or even criminal liability. Parents and educators are advised to communicate with children: tell them how such stories end, monitor children's activity on the Internet and social networks, and offer children safer alternatives.
No video is worth life and health! Don't risk yourself for the sake of likes!
