These YouTube videos should not be attempted at home. A German man known only as The Trainrider has been a YouTube hit. After being diagnosed with leukemia, he pursued his dreams. The last year of his life was spent as a daredevil.
He surfed on the outside of Germany’s fastest commuter train. Armed with a vacuum cup and harness, he climbed aboard the ICE train. And he took the ride of a lifetime at more than 200 mph!
More than four million have seen his inspirational story. That would be touching if it were true. The Trainrider is real. But he’s not a dying man pursuing his dreams. The wildly popular YouTube video was a fake. And one news organization got the story behind it all.
You’ll see both videos here. The lesson? Don’t believe everything you see on YouTube.
