Subway surfing is an app and meant to be played on an app. The fact that people are out here trying to do that in real life is ridiculous. We were dumb when we were young but not this dang ol’ stupid.
Thank you Terrell Ismail for sharing your story. Hopefully your honesty about a poor decision you made in 2022 will dissuade others from making that same mistake. I pray your message will get through to them before it is too late.
It's truly amazing to see how much he has recovered from the incident, while most victims don't. Last I saw, they were pulling him off the top of the train and his scalp was practically hanging off his head. Unfortunately it takes children to experience it themselves before they decide to stop. Please look after and set a good example for your children.
@melistasy There was footage of the incident posted on Twitter when it happened. It's probably been removed since, but I didn't think he was gonna make it.
I used to want to subway surf when I was a teen but I’m glad I didn’t. The thought of dying and leaving my mom alone in this world changed my mind. Kids,please think about your loved ones. It’s not worth it I swear.
I also suffered traumatic brain and physical injuries after a car hit me and went through the same general intense rehabilitation as him, but this was clearly his fault while we may never know who was responsible for my near death experience, which tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of btw.
Thank God he's alive and healing ❤ I cannot imagine the fear his family must've felt immediately following his injuries nor the horrible grief of the ones who lost loved ones 😢
this young child is putting out a message to all kids not to subway surf and the consequences that come with it. if you survive you will look like me if not dead. it goes thru one ear and out the other.
@@NickolaiPetrovitch Ok so someone with humanity will say good job to that kid for doing something objectively stupid. He f*ucked around and found out, its as simple as that. Don't involve yourself in obviously smooth brained activities and you'll have a high chance of living a normal life and probably still have your entire brain intact unlike that kid who for whatever reason thought surfing a subway train was a good idea.
The message should not just be "subway surfing is dangerous." It should be "don't let other kids pressure you to do something you don't feel comfortable about." Which is a BIG problem for young people - even for less stupid ones pushed to try less deadly activities.
He's speaking to the kids his age who think nothing is going to happen to them. Like the doctor says in the video they think they're invincible. We adults know, they don't.
When you’re young you really do believe you’re invincible. Up until you’re grown and your parents and relatives pass away do you finally realized you’re getting older too and life is fragile.
People in the comments are terrible, this boy was a child… he made a mistake and he paid for it, why are you putting him down? How low can you punch? I can’t imagine how miserable they must be as people to be so hateful.
you're risking your life for absolutely no reward or gain. so simply put. part of the issue is that it's developmentally normal for teenagers to seek thrills. the impulse control, planning and reasoning part of their brain is not fully developed until they reach age 25
It’s easy for kids to be followers and try trends to fit in. Unfortunately, trying to fit in can cost you your life. I’m glad he was able to survive and is spreading awareness to others to hopefully stop this trend. 😢
Teenagers today will not listen, if they can't listen to their parents, why do you think they will listen to a total stranger or tv? The only time they will listen is when they get into an accident
IS HE SAYING THAT IT'S DANGEROUS TO STAND ON TOP OF A MOVING TRAIN CAR SEEKING THRILLS AND KICKS. I'M SHOCKED TO HEAR THIS TO BE TRUE. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
I understand that there are influences in our lives. But don’t be so quick to blame tiktock, or parents, or video games or whatever. THEY MADE THE CONSCIOUS DECISION to do something this stupid and think that absolutely nothing was going to happen. You live and you learn.
Terrell, you are a such good looking kid, very tall too. Get yourself some modeling gigs and perfect your piano skills. God has given you your life back, you can do anything. Just one thing, get inside a subway, not outside 👍
@@arfriedman4577 Oh. Okay. That's good to hear. No offense but you should be very careful with what you write because it's hard to tell tone in writing and you came on too strongly. It sounded like you were angry which is bullying. Be careful with what you say next time okay? You didn't have to come out like that.
if you gonna surf on the subway thats your fault, you cant blame anyone but yourself
Then people wanna sue smh
Exactly
How stupid do you have to be to do something like that?
Extremely
I dont think their stupid I would call it reckless, would you call someone stupid for skydiving?
@@jeremiah3749 Yes
@@jeremiah3749 Yeah stupid If someone don't have a parachute when skydiving
Well nevermind

subway surfing is an app? wtf? I don't think you know what an app is.
@@stelityi think she meant it's a game
@ Google is free beloved. There’s an app called subway surfers.
Right, and when they said "subway surfing" I was like, I hope they don't mean what I think they mean 😮
@@melistasySubstituting a game: "Subway surfing is a game meant to be played on a game".... hmm that don't make sense to me.
Why we gotta tell people not to ride on the outside of a subway?! The seats are inside 😂😂
That's not funny that's dumb. 😒
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Facts
I want to know who is paying for all of these treatments and if he and family sued the subway.
Terrell's story and others need to be front and center of the campaigns to discourage subway surfing.
It's truly amazing to see how much he has recovered from the incident, while most victims don't. Last I saw, they were pulling him off the top of the train and his scalp was practically hanging off his head. Unfortunately it takes children to experience it themselves before they decide to stop.

You saw the aftermath?!!

Kids,please think about your loved ones.
It’s not worth it I swear.
Some don’t have parents or loved ones
U r till stupid fun fact
This story still won’t deter these kids. I just know it !
Yeah. They will be like it won't happen to me
I also suffered traumatic brain and physical injuries after a car hit me and went through the same general intense rehabilitation as him, but this was clearly his fault while we may never know who was responsible for my near death experience, which tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of btw.
Glad you are still here 👍🏾 keep doing good.
❤
So sorry about the accident!
Thank God he's alive and healing ❤
I cannot imagine the fear his family must've felt immediately following his injuries nor the horrible grief of the ones who lost loved ones 😢
They did it to themselves.
you're an i diot... they are dumb teens.. but you have no excuse for being an i diot
No shit?🤡

The news title is misleading. should be called “For all teens who want to subway surf: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
Why would you even…?!
Exactly! I understand he wanted cool views but don't risk your life for that. The cool views would be there and you probably won't!
Accurate title: Dumb teen becomes dumber.
😂😂😂
you're an i diot
You have 0 humanity
Oh stop it. That's not necessary.

Gosh, these kids are smart in the city.
They’re children. Learn empathy. The fuck is wrong with you ?
@@NickolaiPetrovitchlearn tough love. He's not a child.
Amazing recovery 🙌
Glad my taxpayer money is helping this guy recover from this injury.
How is his family?
Play stupid games …
Stupid is as stupid does
The message should not just be "subway surfing is dangerous."

They still not going to listen.
When I was their age subway surfing was riding inside of the train car without holding onto the pole. Dangerous but safer than this!!
Most of us already know it isn't worth it without his warning...
He's speaking to the kids his age who think nothing is going to happen to them. Like the doctor says in the video they think they're invincible. We adults know, they don't.
Damn i didint know trying to ride on top of train would get you sevearly injured or killed
Yes, it is worth it. Let them clean themselves. I know you can make mistakes as a kid or teen, but this is a whole new level.
This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. What is wrong with kids these days
Guess who is paying for this? Who also wants to bet that he sued the subway and got a $$$ settlement?
Medicaid is paying for it with no deductible and no out of pocket. WTF!
When you’re young you really do believe you’re invincible. Up until you’re grown and your parents and relatives pass away do you finally realized you’re getting older too and life is fragile.
This! 😢
People in the comments are terrible, this boy was a child… he made a mistake and he paid for it, why are you putting him down? How low can you punch? I can’t imagine how miserable they must be as people to be so hateful.
Damn 😢😢
Doesn't pay fare to train surf,costs millions to bring back.
Poor baby
you're risking your life for absolutely no reward or gain. so simply put. part of the issue is that it's developmentally normal for teenagers to seek thrills. the impulse control, planning and reasoning part of their brain is not fully developed until they reach age 25
Now the real question is, did he pay for the medical bills? or was it medicare?

Social media has caused many to not be able to think for self.
Many kid's, like these, and like I was did a lot of things that weren't that bright. Surfing a train is completely idiotic.
You mean Surfing a train. Normal people ride the train.
@melistasy 😂😂😂😂 You're right! I'll fix it.
He was literally knocked silly. Thats crazy.
Sometimes they need an injury to speak to them that this act is not worth their life.
🙏
A friend of mine who lives in NYC witnessed one of the latest ones that happened about a week ago.
How do parents afford all those bills?
I hope the young kids & their parents sees this ….😒😭
Stupidity at an all time high with this generation. All in hopes to go viral.
Surprised he didn't say i can't wait to get back up on the train again
An idiot tells other idiots not to do idiot things.
Teenagers today will not listen, if they can't listen to their parents, why do you think they will listen to a total stranger or tv? The only time they will listen is when they get into an accident
Too bad your message will fall on deaf ears.😂
Wow. He took his healthy self and made himself disabled, smh. Very sad.
WISH SOCIAL MEDIA WAS NEVER CREATED.
duhhhhhhhhh!
When I was a kid, I never saw anything stupid that anybody did that I wanted to do nether
I don't feel sorry. Just stupid ass decisions. It needs to stop
people dont know when to say this is dumb. you must have no sense to to say this is dangerous
Gnarly y’all kids are taking crazy risks these days
That was dumb of him to surf on that train! 😒
Not a good idea to do surfing on top of the train it’s dangerous and I hope he learn his lesson not to do that ever again!?
IS HE SAYING THAT IT'S DANGEROUS TO STAND ON TOP OF A MOVING TRAIN CAR SEEKING THRILLS AND KICKS. I'M SHOCKED TO HEAR THIS TO BE TRUE. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
Wow I can't wait till a decade from now ..when kids are plane surfing
People don’t care for their kids
I understand that there are influences in our lives. But don’t be so quick to blame tiktock, or parents, or video games or whatever. THEY MADE THE CONSCIOUS DECISION to do something this stupid and think that absolutely nothing was going to happen. You live and you learn.
Concepts of thoughts and prayers cause wtf he was already brain dead to try something like that. You’re not in dauntless
Terrell, you are a such good looking kid, very tall too. Get yourself some modeling gigs and perfect your piano skills. God has given you your life back, you can do anything. Just one thing, get inside a subway, not outside 👍
🔥
They surf PJ elevators, Too...and lose their heads at the top!
❤😊
It’s not worth it? LOL! What could you possibly stand to gain?
Darwin strikes again
😮😮😮😮😮
Darwin award 😂😂
Keep up the stupidy since they don't want to listen.
i feel no sympathy for this dude lol. "its not worth it" . well what did you think was going to happen ? lol.
I don't pity the fools
Skill issue
🤣😂
Well duuuuuhhhhhhhh you idiot. Acting like once you get off the train the Mayor is there with a big check and a crowd to cheer you on smh
Sorry but I don't really care about those who choose to gamble for the Darwin award.
