Dancing On The Rails

Doing something extremely stupid or reckless usually for the amusement of others or for the thrill of doing something daring. Often occurs as a result of peer pressure.

The expression originates from the urban myth(?) of someone dancing on the railroad tracks and paying for the foolish mistake with their life.
