He did it for his luggage.. and hadn’t bought a ticket anyway.
When questioned by police, the man said he jumped on the outside of the train because his luggage was still inside.

ok, so he valued his life at less than the contents of his luggage

Maybe he had some bitcoin in there?

I wanna know what was in that luggage! No ticket = no paper trail... Risking your life for it... The makings of a great movie there.

Somebody didn't read the article
A man travelling on a high-speed train in Germany clung on to the outside of the carriages after failing to get back on after a smoke break, miraculously surviving speeds of up to 282 km/h, police said on Friday.
The man, a 40-year-old Hungarian national, boarded the train bound for the northern coastal city of Lübeck in Munich on Thursday without a ticket.
Yet, that was not the reason for the risky stunt, according to police. When the train stopped at the Ingolstadt station, some 70 kilometres north of Munich, the passenger stepped outside to smoke.
When he realized the doors had closed and the train had begun moving again, he jumped on the fixture between two carriages and held on to cable harnesses while the train accelerated to speeds of up to 282 km/h, police said.
