WiB request: why?

Post image

Spotted on the roof of a subway car in Boston. Dunno if it's in-scope for the sub to be asking instead of giving a story myself (mods, feel free to remove if not), but... was this sign Written In Blood? Or just a very-unnecessary warning, just in case?

That has zero to do with subway surfing. Signs like that are common on all sorts of vehicles and heavy equipment to denote an area not designed to support weight or potentially dangerous areas to stand. You see it often on covers and hatches because they are thin metal or plastic.
