Stopping Indonesia’s Roof Riders with Threatening Concrete Balls (http://www.theworld.org/2012/01/indonesia-roof-riders/)


Indonesia has gone to imaginative extremes to try to stop commuters from riding the roofs of trains.

Now they have an intimidating and possibly even deadly new tactic: Suspending concrete balls above railway lines a few inches above the tops of carriages at points where trains enter or pull out of stations.

Anchor Marco Werman speaks with the BBC’s Karishma Vaswani (https://twitter.com/#!/Karishma7) in Jakarta about the new system to stop roof riders.

This seems like it will turn into some sort of Sasuke competition for a free train ride. I wonder if you can purchase filming rights.

Indonesia's version of Hole In The Wall is way more exciting then ours.
