Nursing badly grazed hands and knees, Mr Emmenegger later warned others against repeating his “stupid” stunt, which saw him praying for his life. Mr Emmenegger said he did not see any signs warning against riding skateboards through the tunnel. “I just saw the 60km/h sign and said `okay, why not?,” he said.
“Switzerland has a lot of tunnels but a lot of signals say `don't do it', in front of the tunnel a big signal tells you `don't skate, don't ride bicycles'. It was too dangerous ... to all the other guys out there, please don't do that like me, stupid stuff.” Deputy police commissioner Ken Lay described the stunt as “dumb, dumb, dumb”.
The newsreader also appears to agree that Mr Emmenegger was indeed stupid.

Sergeant Mark Thomas said the stunt was the stupidest thing he had seen during his 15-year career. “In 15 years of policing, I have seen some stupid things but... I'm struggling to come up with anything that's more ridiculously stupid than that,” he said. “How he isn't dead is absolutely beyond me.” Mr Emmenegger was charged with conduct endangering life and conduct endangering person and is to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court.

It almost seems like he's blaming the Australian authorities for this because the didn't put "no skateboarding" signs up in front of the tunnel.
Yeah, I dont need a sign to tell me putting a knife into the power point is going to do serious damage to me. He is stupid, send him home.
Wait, you don't have signs beside the power points in your house?! What if I come over to visit and stick something into one of them? You, sir, are an irresponsible host.
Now, people. Try to think like a stupid person who is accustomed to there being "no skateboarding" signs before tunnels. What would you think if you suddenly came across a tunnel with no such sign? It must be a special, skateboarding allowed tunnel!
