A 25-year-old man is in a critical condition after he fell off the side of a train while 'train-surfing' in Roodepoort on Saturday morning, Johannesburg emergency services said.

"He lost grip, fell off, smashed one ankle, amputated his right leg above the knee and is in critical condition in hospital."

"The incident was a part of a game which involved people jumping onto the outer carriages of a train while trying to balance or ride the train like a surf board."

In March, a 15-year-old boy, and scores of other children, also died at Ikwezi station, while playing the same game.
