that's not a very smart thing to do, although impressive nonetheless. it's ironic he died of leukemia, and not flying off a speeding train. and the suction handles he's holding onto make it look like mission impossible.

i don't really think it matters when the doctors tell you that your leukemia is terminal. i guess you failed to remember that.

I've always said that if I get diagnosed with something that I'm going to die from that I'll try something really stupid, I'm thinking skydiving without a parachute. After all he has nothing to lose.

the tape of him actually riding the train is sped up so much. Not that its not a cool story, but it's exagerated.

Not that I can say with surety about the speed of that tape, but the ICEs do go 300 km an hour.

he is a kid that rode around on trains because he only had a year to live. hence the quote at the beginning, you can only truly begin to live when you have nothing to lose.

dude, the guy had leukemia and he was only 19 or 20. If you had leukemia would you curse god and play house hermit until you die, OR suck it up like this kid did, play the cards you were dealt knowing you prolly will die from cancer? In the begining it said, you can only be free when you have nothing to lose. he knows hes going to die sooner than later, hes free, he can unleash and break the shackles that restrain us from doing something incredibly dangerous like that. if i was drunk ide prolly tear up over that

I have alot of respect for this guy, he knew he was going to die young, so he did the things we all want to try, but never do because we're scared of what could happen if we did and something went wrong...he didn't have that fear to hold him back. RIP for him, and his family.
