> The mother of Daniel Baran, a 19-year-old who died last year while attempting to ride atop a BART train, is suing the transit agency.
> The suit, filed Wednesday in San Francisco Superior Court, claims the trains lacked safety mechanisms that would have prevented his death.
> Marina Baran further alleges that the agency was aware that others had been climbing its trains to record “surfing” stunts and post the footage on social media.
At what point would the cost of making all existing and future infrastructure "proof against" danger-seeking young males far exceed the cost of identifying such males, then locking them in padded cells until their brains mature enough to stop playing Russian Roulette?
Or, should "freedom" include the freedom to do dangerously foolish things?
