We see photos of tourists leaning out of the blue trains. Is this allowed and is it dangerous.

Accepted Answer

While actively hanging out of the open carriage doors is an incredibly famous highly popular tourist activity it is fundamentally and undeniably highly dangerous. The moving trains pass extremely closely to narrow stone tunnels massive jagged rock walls and thick heavy jungle branches.

If you choose to do this for a photograph you must absolutely hold on incredibly tightly and constantly vigilantly watch forward for upcoming sudden obstacles. The local railway authorities heavily strongly advise against it due to several highly tragic past accidents involving unaware foreign tourists.
