Sometimes, people make bad decisions. For instance, like riding on the outside of a bullet train that's going 170 miles per hour!
The Guardian is reporting that a Hungarian man that was traveling in Germany was holding onto some cables in-between two cars on a train after the doors shut and he couldn't get back in from having a cigarette. He was clinging to the cables for about 20 miles when somebody saw him and the train finally slowed down! The guy said that he would have waited for the next train but his luggage was inside and he didn't want to lose his stuff.
Are a few pairs of jeans and some old underwear really worth hanging onto a train for dear life at 170mph? Apparently so!
