I searched did not find this posted.

[BenLurkin]

Yeah, I think we did this one. Sad story. Stupid kid.

[Gay State Conservative]

Don’t know if my contempt should be directed at the kid,his mother or his father (although I’d wager there’s no father in the picture).

[Qwapisking]

Working on that Darwin award apparently. I’m going to say he’s in the top 10.

[max americana]

Darwin awards special prizes regardless of age.

[Jonty30]

If he wasn’t right handed, he is now.
Stupid foolishness.

[sasquatch]

Stupid should hurt.

His left arm was severed by a moving R train.

I got served by a one armed waiter the other day

You have to hand it to him

I've found a job helping a one armed typist do capital letters.

It's shift work.

How do you get a one armed man out of a tree?

Wave to him!

Saw a one armed man shopping in a second hand store.

I told him, you’re not going to find what you’re looking for.

[Bullish]

Well, let’s give him a big hand.

[crusty old prospector]

A dude fell asleep on the tracks around here last week. The train severed his leg and he bled to death.

[Ratman0823]

They just don't understand the meaning of life.

So, telling them the answer is "42" wouldn't help, I suppose.

[libh8er]

Where’s a photo of the severed arm ? That what needs to be on social media. Will get a lot of likes I bet.

[Honest Nigerian]

I wonder what tattoos the kid had on that arm that got chopped off.

Some things never change. I remember reading this Popular Science article in November 1962 when I was 11 years old and being so impressed with the surgery to reattach an arm. Everett Knowles was 12 years old when this happened. It taught me all I needed to know about "surfing" on trains. The amazing surgery was performed at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Full story is on page 71 of The Boy Who Lost His Arm -- and Got It Back.

A Wired Magazine update in 2011: "A year after the surgery Knowles' arm and fingers were sensitive to heat, cold and touch, and he could move his fingers and bend his wrist. He could also play first base – but only with his one good hand. The year after that, he was playing tennis and baseball. After four years of recovery, Knowles had the same use of his right arm and hand as a natural lefty. He eventually drove a six-wheel truck and lifted sides of beef at his job."

lets all hope it was a learning experience...

"A lot of people are being more daredevil. I don't get it, but what can we do?" one person said.

Some even survive into adulthood. Many don't.

One would surmise it cleans out the gene pool, but another bunch of idiots come along in the next generation.

[dfwgator]

Tis but a scratch!

[metmom]

Is this another one or the same one from a week or so ago?

[Cobra64]

Sooo… how does one subway surf?

[Thunder90]

Soon kids in Chiraq will be surfing the “L” trains.

[wastedyears]

Who’s doing it?
