Miley Cyrus did it in a unicorn suit:

But two young unidentified individuals took twerking to the next extreme in New York City... and they're dangerous stunt is now going viral on the web:

Probably not the smartest idea, but the dance clip (posted on Nov. 25) has already received more than 85,000 and counting.

But authorities suggest NOT twerking on the NYC subway tracks. “One word, dumb,” MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz told the New York Post.

The two friends appear to be having a good time and both came out of the twerk-fest unharmed, but shaking your booty on the railroad tracks is NOT the brightest idea. Not only did they risk the obvious danger of being hit by a train, but the ladies were just inches away from the third rail (which is used to power trains and usually carries a standard 625 volts, according to Contact Music). 

Ortiz believes that the video was shot on the 8th Avenue rapid transit line - trains run throughout the night and every five minutes during the day. Another Youtube viewer claims the girls could have been twerking at Fordham Road station in the Bronx. 

Meanwhile, according to a recent report by the New York magazine, the number of people struck and killed by trains so far in 2013 is "on pace to set a grim new mark" -

"If the current trend holds, more people will die along the rail and subway authority's thousands of miles of tracks in 2013 than in any year going back to at least 2008... A total of 84 people died on the tracks in 2012, making it the deadliest full year in the last five."

Twerking on the subway tracks will not help ease these numbers, so don't do it.
