Whilst it's sad someone died, it might be for a good cause... To potentially teach other kids how stupid and idiotic this kind of behavior is. I would think he's eligible for a Darwin award!?

Next thing you know, there will be a roof camera on the trains and a monitor for the driver to watch, to distract the driver from other real potential hazards...
Good idea, do we still have conductors ? , would give them something to do monitor the roof cam!!!!!!
I like the new Indonesian idea of suspending steel balls from chains above the track.
That would sort the d!ckheads out.
Indo's ride on the roof cos they're poor (like above pic) but what excuse do privileged Aussie kids have? None.
It almost looks like he grabs the wire to balance...
I bet people there were shocked and not because someone is on the roof of active train like they should, no that so many people get on top of roofs of trains without any problems.
I do a bit of High Voltage (33kV) switching at work. When i was completing my training the instructor, who used to be an Electrical Inspector, described the smell as a lot like bacon 
. He had to investigate electrocution accidents and the like.
