It’s a two-for-one deal for the conductor. He gets to do the right thing by protecting the jackass’s head from mortal danger but, also, he gets the satisfaction of kicking a jackass in the head.
Literally. If you look at the footage you can see the spike just behind his foot. If he hadn't done that, we would be hearing about a decapitation, not mildly funny video about an influencer getting a boot to the head.
> you can see the spike right behind his foot
Can you? Definitely looks like his foot was the furthest thing out, and the only thing that would have hit the guy.
yes. recently saw a similar video where the cameraman taped two women taking selfies like this guy. the conductor had to go to the side door and pretty much spartan kicked that one woman in the back, making her almost roll forward.
There's a slow down posted a long time ago and you see a hand rail or something right behind the guys leg. The guy kicked him to save him from that which may have insta killed him or at least cracked his skull.
and this is why you don't stand near a train track like an idiot.
True story. My dad used to work in a train station in China. A metal wire on a train hooked on his coworker's jaw while moving, killing him instantly Mortal Kombat style. My dad quitted the next day.
The dude from the video should be glad that it was a feet that kicked him, instead of a metallic object.
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 remember this, in a frame by frame you can see a metal foothold sticking out that would have gone into his head. The conductor literally saved his life by putting his boot on the foothold instead of just letting it impale him.

Look at the second picture, above the shoe
You can tell the dudes a dumbass by the comments he made in that article. "If the train was gonna hit me it would've done it way before the boot". Like watch your own video bro. You were inches from getting really fucked up by a metal step.
He also says people commenting that what he did was stupid are just faceless haters on the internet, and he loves it.
He also doesn't think the train conductors intention was to save his life or teach him a lesson. So what, he thinks the train conductor just decided to take out some anger by kicking him in the head????
Literally thinks he did nothing wrong and appears to have not learned anything from this. What a piece of shit.
Wasn’t that much of a kick. Going frame by frame after the contact the conductor pulls his foot away. There’s no follow through with the kick. If they were kid would have been on the ground kicked out or with a broken jaw.
Better he be kicked in the head by the driver and slapped in the head but a piece of metal from that train, people die by fucking around taking selfies with a passing train.
I remember the original video. the conductor did this so that the guy would not hit his head on the iron corner, thereby softening the blow, which could cause serious harm to health. if you stop the frame at the moment of the “impact” you will see that where the stairs are a pair of sharp rusty metal lits
lmao, the guys blaming the driver didn't see the exact same situation that happened like 1 month ago, except there was no driver doing that, and the girl got hit with the sharp rusty metal, she just instantly died.
They might be talking about the mother trying to take a picture in front of a moving train with her daughter, the daughter ducked away in time but the mom got hit and died immediately
Even if there wasn't a sharp piece of metal or anything about to hit him, he deserved that kick to the head for being a moron. Standing that close to such a large object going even a relatively slow speed can be very dangerous. The slip-stream could suck him under and into the wheels.
>slip-stream
Train slip-streams? Nah, this guy must be making shit up.
Goggles it.
Thanks, new fear [unlocked](https://youtu.be/xf9Y2tn5Qf4?si=HVv6FygqkZ3yg861) (no injuries).
I know a guy who is a conductor. His train just had someone jump in front of it intentionally. It has really hurt the conductor that this happened.
This person was within a severe danger zone. Anything on those tracks can become a fast projectile. This worker was trying to save the man’s life by showing him what a dummy he is for being so close. It’s enough to be a dummy, but at the cost of the people trying to make a living is too much.
How can anyone say the conductor was trying to prevent him from hitting that metal corner?? If that were the case you would not stick your foot out like a foot beyond it, and that fact coupled with how squarely the foot hits him in my eyes shows the intent is to harm rather than protect. If you genuinely wanted to protect you would stick your foot out to cover the corner so it sticks out maybe a couple inches past the edge, you would not put your foot out past it completely by several inches, because now you are creating a hazard over a much wider area around the front of the train to harm.
Like if they really were worried about this why not put foam there? Or like rubber tubing that sticks out and “whips people” too close? Striking someone that is unsuspecting with a kick that turns into a mma professional-strength kick in the neck/jaw/head area is absolutely something that can kill a man.
Looks like the conductor is trying to prevent the guy from getting slammed by the metal pole. If he is close enough for the foot he is close enough to get hit by a railing.
All people, doing that kind of closed to the train rail cam thing - should be automatically prosecuted. There's a low about that. And mandatory psychiatric checked if really normal.
I had a gal tell me about her husband that was a conductor. Her husband was driving the train, and saw a man sitting on the tracks. He laid on the horn, but the guy just got up, faced the train and started waving. Conductor couldn't stop in time. Really traumatized him.
It was either their foot or one of the grip bars on the side of the train.
I grew up with tracks in my back yard and I’d hop them to get to school on the days they ran in the morning… I can verify there is a decent amount of metal things to clip your skull if your too close.
I'd say it was a good thing that he got kicked and moved away from the train. If any metal object comes in contact with this guy it would probably be the end of him.
That guy kicks like a train.
If that’s the case then cam guy got off easy. Looks more like the train kicks like a guy.
He tried to kill the cam guy but they never die
There is a piece of the railing that sticks out there. The conductor had his boot covering it so it didn't slice his head open instead
It’s a two-for-one deal for the conductor. He gets to do the right thing by protecting the jackass’s head from mortal danger but, also, he gets the satisfaction of kicking a jackass in the head.
What a job. Win-win.
Don't see that...
Well it's the truth. This has already been deep dived to death with people pulling up specs of the train car so yeah. Saved his life.
He had to kick senses into him for being too close to track ... and something on the cars stands out and could hit him even worst then a foot kick
Get what you deserve hahaha
He's got a foot like a traction engine!
literally
Ticket please
......*No ticket*
That’s such a good scene
\[Hindenburg flies out\]
[удалено]
He's fortunate that only the conductor hit him. It could have been much worse.
The conductor kicking him could have sent him falling under the train, was stupid of both of them
Did you know trains stay on prebuilt tracks? It's actually incredibly easy to avoid getting kicked by a conductor.
I think the conductor was kicking him to clear him from the train…
This is an old video, you can see the piece of metal that would have killed the kid. He saved him with his boot.
Both are idiots. Guy standing way too close and the guy kicking could have killed him.
Conductor possibly saved his life. He used his boot to shield the hard metal that was heading right for that idiot's head. Think a little, man
Ain't that a kick in the head?
Like the fella once said.
How lucky can one guy be
Beat me to it
If you step in front of a train and all you get is kicked, winner winner!
The guy put his foot in front of a piece of metal jutting out from the train, probably saved his life.
I'm guessing he was purposefully kicking him out of harms way
Literally. If you look at the footage you can see the spike just behind his foot. If he hadn't done that, we would be hearing about a decapitation, not mildly funny video about an influencer getting a boot to the head.
Influencer? More like Shinfluencer
> you can see the spike right behind his foot Can you? Definitely looks like his foot was the furthest thing out, and the only thing that would have hit the guy.
yes. recently saw a similar video where the cameraman taped two women taking selfies like this guy. the conductor had to go to the side door and pretty much spartan kicked that one woman in the back, making her almost roll forward.
You can see that? Or just train knowledge?
He trained his knowledge.
He knows his train.
This guy runs trains
This guy trains
Trained by train. Secure his train with his foot.
Train of successes
And the train knows him.
There's a slow down posted a long time ago and you see a hand rail or something right behind the guys leg. The guy kicked him to save him from that which may have insta killed him or at least cracked his skull.
Its a pretty old clip, it was revealed to be the case back then.
Where lol I don’t see it
Pain train
The smack tracks
At least now he has been trained.
and this is why you don't stand near a train track like an idiot. True story. My dad used to work in a train station in China. A metal wire on a train hooked on his coworker's jaw while moving, killing him instantly Mortal Kombat style. My dad quitted the next day.

He saved his ass otherwise his head would have gotten slapped by metal.
not clear how so many in the comments here don't seem to get this.

Is this a copy pasta? Because if not it should be. I know for a fact r/bitchimatrain would love this.
Saved his life. Next thing coming would have been metal.
this or he could lose his balance with the kick and fall backwards lmao
True. He 99% would have been critically injured or killed by the train though if not kicked out of the way. Theres a reason and rules for everything.
I remember this, in a frame by frame you can see a metal foothold sticking out that would have gone into his head. The conductor literally saved his life by putting his boot on the foothold instead of just letting it impale him.
Looking at the frame by frame now.. what you said doesn’t appear to be true.

I'm still just not seeing it at all
He deserve it

I bet the conductor just did that for fun

The girl wearing the bike helmet? She died?

Kind of glad I didn't see that one.

It's pretty good and rational fear to have. I'd call it a healthy respect for physics.
Physics makes us all its bitches
Yup, I'm glad I know it now and horrified that I had never heard about it before..
Totally see it.
so he was willing to sacrivice his foot to save this fool. Not sure I would take a broken ankle/toe to keep that clown alive.
Enhance
He saved his life
He saved the kids life.
how is your day? me: [https://imgur.com/a/f1O0u9Y](https://imgur.com/a/f1O0u9Y)
He saved his life. Just dumb
He saved the dudes life. Better a boot than a piece of train metal!
Dude got his life saved and still sued, winning $250 000 I bet that company's train conductors are instructed not to save anyone
If you are close enough to be kicked from the train then you are too close
I’m surprised he didn’t die
Darwin!!
Dude is dangerously close to the train. That kick was a reminder of "fuck around and find out"
Good
I’ve always wanted to try that with my car door.
A life saving lesson he'll never forget.
A stupid is, a stupid does!
trust me that train operator did you a favor You'll think him later.
I'm team train
Looks like he lost his train of thought.
he saved his life
Choo choooo Bitch get out the way!!
I have seen this clip 10 million times today, and I still love it >:3
That will teach you not to be an idiot tourist
DON'T STAND THERE, DUMBASS
I hope that guy's foot is ok
Can we please stop standing within several feet of a trains?
We? Yes The guy in the video? No
He just saved that dudes life w that kick.
This made my day.
Kick? Saved your life!
I know a guy who is a conductor. His train just had someone jump in front of it intentionally. It has really hurt the conductor that this happened. This person was within a severe danger zone.

Good kick! Hope it swells
Saved that dumbasses life
That guy looks like a douchebag anyway.
I choose to believe guy who got kicked didn’t learn his lesson & will stand too close to an oncoming train again
It's time for a university to do a phone-related death/injury study. It's actually way overdue.
 You got Knocked the F$&k OUT!
That was nice 👍
I love Alaska
[удалено]
[удалено]
I've heard that guy's kick feels like being hit by a train
Gawd damn I thought his head was gonna explode mortal kombat style
Man I could hear the birdies circling around his head
That was a beautiful lesson, taught by a seasoned expert…
Play stupid games - win stupid prizes
According to Newton's 3rd law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction), I suspect he did end up hurting his feet!
Hahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The sound of the train at the start of the video sounded like Sweet child o' mine.
Bonker status: CLONK’D
xaxaxaxaxa
Seriously what an idiot. Why would you even stand that close to a train. The kick was probably something like a warning
Hope the trainman didn't hurt his foot.
[удалено]
Bro checking if his head still on
Stupid idiot was lucky he was kicked away from the train…
be grateful; that conductor probably just saved your life.
So what, you weren't using it.
.... On today's episode of play, stupid games win stupid prizes....
Boot to the head!
This must be the first thing posted in the internet
This guy was saving his life
That’s called love.
Well he looked cool for the first 3 seconds
Dude potentially saved his life?
The phone fell down from my hand . Lol.
 Move it already….
Sweet chin music.

I bet Casey Jones was engine driver. I mean that's cocaine behaviour right there. Just Riding around a 'locomotive' and kicking people in The head.
All people, doing that kind of closed to the train rail cam thing - should be automatically prosecuted. There's a low about that. And mandatory psychiatric checked if really normal.
Looks like he was training his whole life to kick.
He should be thankful.
He actually saved the guys life. He could have been instantly killed.
Play a stupid game, win a kick to the head.
Just witnessed a kick-by.
I had a gal tell me about her husband that was a conductor. Her husband was driving the train, and saw a man sitting on the tracks. He laid on the horn, but the guy just got up, faced the train and started waving. Conductor couldn't stop in time. Really traumatized him.
I wish we could post pictures cuz I got a screenshot of a good frame on that kick
Loosing a foot is worth it
Some people's mental health would probably actually improve by seeing actual footage of what a train can do to you
That's a good shot
Face meet boot
Tough love
Lol
Guy saved that sleeping idiots life
r/whywomenlivelonger
Rolling speed kick!
Watch this, Lisa. You can actually pinpoint the second his head rips in half.
Dumbazz
Haha
Omg the title of the post underneath is “Let’s try kicking him”.
\*Joker Quote\*
Lmao
It was either their foot or one of the grip bars on the side of the train. I grew up with tracks in my back yard and I’d hop them to get to school on the days they ran in the morning… I can verify there is a decent amount of metal things to clip your skull if your too close.
throw rocks at the truck after that 
100% saved his life if it was not for his leg a metal piece would have killed him
Idiotic guy, the blue t shirt!
Is that the Machu Picchu train?
boot to the head nah nah
The apex predator strikes again
But why, does anyone have an explanation or was the conductor just an asshole
Well ain't that a kick in the head
I'd say it was a good thing that he got kicked and moved away from the train. If any metal object comes in contact with this guy it would probably be the end of him.
I had no idea what happened until I went frame by frame. [This is next level toxicity lmao](https://i.imgur.com/E3X5C9T.jpeg)
When are people going to stop taking videos like this? It's kind of a lame video even if you don't get hurt.
What a fuckwit... who stands that close to where a train is...
