Which is exactly how a tram follows the rails...

BUT SERIOUSLY - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

There was a spate of similar stunt videos around that time (over a decade ago) and at least one did result in serious injury when one did indeed meet a tram coming the other way. Having seen the aftermath of Tram vs Pedestrian collision, afraid for me, it's no laughing matter and my sympathies are entirely with the tram driver...

You could go out for a night on the town and not have to worry about getting the last tram home  :D

...I wonder if there is a charge of being "Drunk in charge of a pallet"  ???

Might not be the case here but I take all my pics on a phone. Take them in 'landscape' no problem, take them in 'portrait' either upside down or on side. Therefore take them in 'landscape', simples!

No brakes!

My armour would be well and truly soiled :worried:

It looks like it's relying on the embedded tram rails groove rather than purely running on the rails, but I suspect can be adapted for those of you who work on heritage railways to get around the depot quickly :)

PS think the forum gallery may be having a moment. Uploading from an iPhone but the photo keeps going all Australian on us (it's the correct orientation on the phone)!

Nothing wrong with the forum! It's the EXIF data embedded in the image file. The EXIF data in this image declares the image's vertical plane to be 180 degrees from vertical - i.e. the camera was upside-down at the time of capturing the image. You can correct this by rotating the image in most any image editing app.
