What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

In the "Darwin Award in the Making" category, we have this example of "car surfing" that didn't go exactly as planned:

A 29-year-old man is in serious condition after he was apparently car surfing in North Las Vegas.

Police say Ralph Brooks was lying on the hood of the car when the driver suddenly came to a halt near Decatur and Grand Teton.

What I want to know is, when did riding on the hood of a moving car become so common it got its own name?

Back when I was a bigger moron than I am now (mid 80's), we called it urban surfing. My vehicle was the vehicle of choice for this endeaver as I had a Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon. We could surf up to 5 people comfortably and still haul another 8 inside. Damn we were dumb.
