algy Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Illegal rail passengers to be given a Headache - at best! Indonesia has gone to imaginative extremes to try and stop commuters from illegally riding on the roofs of train - from hosing them down with red paint to threatening them with dogs. But now authorities have developed an intimidating and possibly deadly new tactic - suspending rows of grapefruit-sized concrete balls to rake over the top of trains. They hope the balls - which would deliver serious blows to the head if they didn't knock a person off the roof of a train - will be enough to deter 'train surfers'.

Cleopatra Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's the ticket inspectors' fault for not getting up there and asking to see their tickets! Those carriages don't look very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Good grief that looks a bit brutal..... but good thinking on the authorities part though. I guess they don't have all our H&S nonsense or "had an accident, not your fault... claim £££££'s" vultures in Indonesia. It reminds me of a reversal of ten pin bowling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
