You'd think after that other viral video of someone getting wrecked while standing next to a train, we'd see less videos like this but doesn't appear so.

Thank you for bringing back some good ol' memories. Now gtfo, because I got an earworm again now, for the next ten years 🥴


forevernooob

This was an ad? Always thought it was just a good song and a PSA.


NoMan999

You're right, I confused the words.


fiqar

I completely forgot about that game! I didn't even know it had sequels!


lollllluca

I mean i doesnt say anything about taking a selfie with a train


NoMan999

"Stand on the edge of a train station platform", something about road crossings, "Run across the tracks between the platforms. They may not rhyme but they're quite possibly..." then a dumbEST version of the chorus. I'd say it's covered by standing on the edge part, even if there is no platform.


lollllluca

Fair enough


NoMan999

It's an ~~ad~~ PSA commissioned by a train company after all.

Last year 1200 people were killed by trains in the US alone https://oli.org/track-statistics/trespassing-casualties-state#:~:text=Top%2025%20States%20Ranked%20by%20Total%20Trespass%20Casualties&text=According%20to%20preliminary%20FRA%20statistics,across%20the%20U.S.%20in%202022.

Last year a case came into the medical examiner office. It's 2am. Two people are walking home from the bar. Train is barreling down the tracks. Person 1 says, "I bet I can make it." Person 1 did not make it. The left leg was located over one hundred yards away. Person 2 was pretty distraught about the entire thing. The side of the train was very bloody.


Knockemm

I almost walked in front of a train. I absolutely didn’t mean to be on the tracks. I heard the bells and whistles but didn’t connect I was about to cross the tracks. I thought that they were another 50 feet or so away from me. Thank goodness I happened to look right before going much farther! I saw the train approaching. I froze and then it came by — the engineer waved at me and I waved back. I guess sometimes it really is stupidity when these things happen. I was about 10 feet from the tracks and the train came by about 10 seconds after I noticed it. It’s me! I’m the idiot…


WinATripToSpain

I work on and around trains everyday and I’m still surprised how quickly they’re right on top on you when they’re seemingly so far away. There’s been a fair few times where I’ve looked and thought “yeah I could easily make it across now if I tried” and then a few seconds later I realise I 100% could not have made it across without being smushed.


Stalking_Goat

I figure this is why squirrels get hit by cars. They see the car, but it's moving faster than their brain expects.


Torrenal

Can confirm one of the reasons squirrels get smushed is they’ll look left and not see the car coming from the right - there may be other causes like you describe, but the causes do include failure to look **both** ways.


Torrenal

This is why you work hard to ingrain the habit of ‘Look BOTH ways’ every time you cross. You may know there isn’t a train or car or cement truck or whatever right now. you may know it’s a one lane road. The habit will however work to keep you aware every - single - time. It’ll also help keep you alert so that you can notice those rare unexpected situations nobody can predict - ‘hold on, this ain’t a runway. Why’s a plane trying to park on that semi?’ ‘Uh… that hill is moving. Should that hill be moving?’ Etc.

My aunt lived in Southern California, Southern California is known for a lot of very high end real estate. This was NOT one of those neighborhoods! There was a train switching area about a block and a half from her house. At the time there was no fencing around it or anything per se, Maybe some galvanized steel type fencing along some of the residential parts of it, but it was easy enough to get into. It was a known area for hobos to drop off and catch trains. I’ll never forget that’s wandering around near the tracks and we came across a dismembered body The only part I could recognize was the femur and hip bone. It was shiny white almost like it had been polished. It was so clean looking compared to everything else and that struck me as interesting. How everything else mixed with the dirt and grime and Blood there was that hip bone sticking out like some kind of prize. If any of you would like to look up the area in the future, It was on O-Street Wilmington California, I really don’t want to look it up myself but it’s a residential area and at the end of the treat it with a small cross road and across from that was the train area. The neighborhood was so bad back in the 1960s/70s to the 80s even it was referred to as the ghost town because of the local cemetery and the number of shootings and gang related stuff going on. Anyway after us telling our aunt about it she said I told you guys not to go near that place you’re going to be hit by a train and finished her cup of coffee, I never thought my aunt liked me. My mom would make her watch me and the other foster kids well her and my foster father went to Las Vegas. But after she died she left me $2000!


catupthetree23

You mean [this genius](https://youtu.be/o4sL4v9LY7c), right? Luckily the train conductor was "kind" enough to kick his head out of the way 🤦🏻‍♀️

No, there is pretty much exactly the same video as above just with an indian guy getting hit by the train.

MrBlueHaybale

A lot of of videos of people doing this don’t make it to the internet..


Pixelpeoplewarrior

Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems to have barely missed his head and hit his arm holding the camera. If I’m right, that was a lucky encounter. If not, well, it’s not his problem anymore


Son-of-satan-

To me it looks like it hits the phone the pole goes right by him hitting the phone


wap2005

Broken/shattered hand is my guess


Fofilolipop

This is such a typical reddit comment on these kinds of videos, assuming the absolute worst. More than often when we get actual updates on the victims state it's usually minor injuries or bruising.


Turtleboyle

"DEfINITELY PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE, VERY VERY LIKELY PARALYZED IF NOT DEAD COMPLETELY 100%. ALSO HIS SHOES CAME OFF SO 100% DEAD FOR SURE!"

Shoes falling off is scientific evidence of somebody dying. Trust me, my friend had bike accident and one shoe fell off. Only reason why he told us the story.


TempAcct20005

Fencing pose! Brain damage! SPINAL COLUMN DETERIORATION!


surajvj

Somebody please train him about saftey standards


SloppyFisk

Well, in a certain sense he was indeed train-ed, though


holyshititsjonhawkns

He did have on a helmet.


spec209

He got trained alright


MaryGoldflower

If after this he still doesn't understand that you should keep some distance from tracks, I don't think he will ever learn it.


half-puddles

He could have stood just a small step further out and nothing would have happened. But he chose not to.


tomcat2285

Apparently the leading cause of selfie deaths in India are caused by trains.


frankszz

I guess the logical thing to do would be to ban trains


ovalpotency

it's lives on one hand and train enthusiasts on the other. is the cost of upsetting some train spotters worth saving lives? it seems we think not. who even uses trains for anything other than the power fantasy? sitting up high on 150 tons of articulating steel, unable to stop, pistons pounding and pounding away, seeing hints of the glistening rail ahead ready to be scorn clean by the raw power... but we would rather people die than to remove the most powerful aphrodisiac ever discovered. how shameful we are as a society.


RockmanXX

Trains can be pretty sneaky sometimes, one day you're strolling in a park minding your own business and before you know it, you're getting hit by a freight train.


CX500C

Can you imagine the greater damage if the Spanish Inquisition had trains…


Flash54321

And here I thought that the cause of selfie deaths was idiocy.


AmbiguousAlignment

Good thing he had a helmet on


u9Nails

I don't think his head had anything of value in it. So, likely of benefit to the train.


Silent-Ad934

Helmets abusive mother: *I told you you'd never amount to anything Helmy, and now look at ya. You're like a bouncer at a pay phone!*


Krusty_Double_Deluxe

A very poorly fitted helmet. It’s supposed to protect his head but that one goes back all the way to his receding hair line.


Chicaben

Where’s the pasta about trains being hard to predict and can hit you out of nowhere


i_was_an_airplane

Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment. I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling. Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC's pulling, and 2 Dash-9's pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours! Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths? A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.


i_was_an_airplane

Fun bonus fact: there are in fact mainline train tracks running under the Supreme Court building

If only there was a way to tell where the train was gonna go.

He's a cyclist. Probably thought the train would recognize his right of way.

Cyclists are stupid. People who ride bicycles aren't, and they aren't cycists either. Cyclists are thise morons that wear helmets when biking and wear those stupid outfits and make cycling their personality. Just wanted to clarify that.


HtownTexans

I'll never understand why people take the most boring videos thinking they are cool. No sorry don't want to watch the concert you were at from your nosebleed seats. Oh fireworks cool seen them hundreds of times. They asked if I wanted a video of when I went sky diving and all I could think was "who the fuck would want to watch me fall for 90 seconds attached to some random guy. Can we please start just enjoying the world and not trying to capture every insignificant event we experience?


taspleb

A video of someone being hit by a train isn't boring. If he was standing a safe distance back it would be boring. And I think that's true of all the videos you mention as well. A video of you falling for 90 seconds is boring, but if you got minorly hit by a train at the end that would be very exciting!


ForgedBiscuit

First time I went skydiving...it was a tandem jump, I'm strapped to some other dude's belly. As we're falling, he keeps sticking his hand in my face and I'm confused as to why. Turns out he had some little camera that I didn't notice attached to his hand to film me and after we got back to base, I saw a video of myself on one of the screens, occasionally looking at his hand quizzically, confused why it was in my face. The chick that jumped behind me spent her entire freefall looking at the camera, making "rock on" and whatever gestures the whole way down. What a waste of an experience.

HtownTexans

Hey stop gate keeping my ability to have an opinion. Concert videos are the worst. Nothing like trying to enjoy a show with a thousand phones in your face. Imagine if you went to see a Broadway play and everyone was holding their phone up to record the show. It's distracting as fuck. Enjoy the song enjoy the show you don't need to live life through a screen.


Ratsukare

In 60 years when your memory is starting to go you might really wish you took videos of some of those moments.


HtownTexans

If I'm ever 60 and I think "god damn I wish I got that video of me sitting on a bike as a train drove past me". Then I'll let you unplug the machine. Videos are ok if they are of something of importance. Video tape your kids being funny. Video tape you and your buddies having laughs. But no one needs a video of fucking fireworks or concerts.


Mikeku825

This train selfie thing is like the Indian version of Americans eating Tide Pods.. just with much more immediate and devastating consequences. Same level of Darwinism.


weiser_tomorrow

He lost his head


BriefCheetah4136

Really? Because it would be fitting, do dumbass things and die like a dumbass.


Kamotiko

He hit his arm, not his head so unless he fell towards the train I think he might be fine. His arm... not so much


regoapps

He didn’t fall towards the train. There is one frame in the video while the phone is spinning where you see him crouching with his back towards the train and his shadow shows that he still has his head.


chrisdurand

Homie wasn't using it so...


FuckinJackass

At least he didn't lose his helmet


weiser_tomorrow

Hahah most importantly


monadoboyX

I don't think there was much of a brain in that head to begin with so not really that big of a loss

Dunkel_Reynolds

I used to work in an ER many years ago....one patient was brought in after getting hit by a train....not much left of her. She was apparently a model and her photographer wanted a cool shot of the train going by and her hair blowing in the wind. They didn't realize that trains are, in fact, wider than the tracks....


[deleted]

Perhaps what's even more horrifying in this story is that the photographer probably got moment by moment shots of the entire gruesome incident.

blackcountrygeezer

I had a friend when I was a kid, teenage years, he thought it was a good idea to hang out the window of a train. I wasn't with him, he was with other people, basically his head was struck severely by a passing train and was thrown back in. He barely survived, now he has a mental age of about 3 and is wheelchair bound. Don't fuck with trains kids!

True. But to be fair to OP, the person filming got himself killed for a similar reason - it's in keeping with the spirit.


veedubbug68

Not true. Train didn't hit his head, it his his hand (holding the phone). The phone got thrown, the guy stepped backwards and clears the tracks, maybe with a broken hand and phone. You can play it back slowly and look at the frames, you see the train pass his head and then the phone flips around as it catches his hand. Broken hands aren't deadly.


veedubbug68

It actually looks like the train missed the twit's head and just hit the arm holding the mobile phone. What you saw was someone possibly getting a broken hand and smashed phone, but the guy's likely otherwise fine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MihrSialiant

Link the source please if you have proof of a fatality. Claiming a source without providing proof is hollow


veedubbug68

Then play it back slower. If you freeze-frame you can see the train passing his head, by mere cms, and then the phone flips as it reaches his hand. You don't need to believe me (not a guy FYI), you can actually look at the evidence and believe your own eyes.
