A reader took this photo of three young people hanging onto the back of an uptown express train pulling out of the 96th street station today around 6 p.m. Our tipster says it was either the 2 or 3 train (or possibly the 5).

Do we even need to say how dumb this is? Please, parents remind your children that these stunts too often end in death. Here’s a recent New York Times story about more youthful stunts gone bad.

Update: Read witness accounts of the incident here.
