Supposedly Frank Herbert got the idea for Sandworm riding Fremen (Dune) from seeing Indians riding on trains.
I've ridden in open gondola cars on real trains.
Nothing much to recommend it.
Still looking for my first ride on shai-hulud. Now THAT would be worth head trauma.

Yes. This is what Darwin's theory is supposed to do. People who selfishly risk their lives and are Risking their lives should face the consequences should they not survive.
