The commuter suffered serious injuries but miraculously survived the bizarre incident.

Tube carriage doors can be easily opened as the train is moving but signs warn of a danger of death if passengers do this.

The stupid stunt was revealed in TfL's quarterly health and safety report.

Amongst the accidents included, a woman died after falling down steps at Walthamstow Central station in North East London.

On the Overground - the capital's inner-city rail network - a visually impaired passenger was seriously injured after falling out of a train onto the platform.

The report revealed one death and 43 serious injuries across the capital’s transport network between April and June this year, .

Meanwhile, 263 injuries were recorded among TfL’s workforce, including two serious injuries.
