Car surfing

Car surfing involves riding on the outside of a moving vehicle being driven by another person. It has resulted in numerous deaths, predominantly causing severe head injuries.

The Quebec Provincial Automobile Insurance Company defines car surfing as follows:

• Riding on a moving vehicle (on the roof, at the rear, on the side, etc.);
• Riding in the box or cargo space of a truck or pick-up truck;
• Holding onto or being pulled by a moving vehicle;
• Riding in a sofa, on a skateboard, a sled or any other object hitched or tied to a moving vehicle.
