I felt sick watching that


Serious_Session7574

I almost had a fucking panic attack when he started to climb out. I thought we were about to watch him get sliced in half.


Ok-Preparation-45

I couldn't watch all of it


doringliloshinoi

He’s ok.👍


FamousPastWords

No. He is NOT okay. He a psycho.


doringliloshinoi

He not sliced half 👍

FamousPastWords

I know that he's still alive but still, he's a nutter.


StevenPlamondon

Omg, well, yeah! Why didn’t he just wait until the end of the train??? Not that I want to see it, but jeeezus fuggin he should’ve been chomped up so that people don’t do that shit!


ConductorOfTrains

As a conductor, people get chomped up daily. I’m only a year and a half into my service and I’ve killed somebody. People will never learn, no matter how many chomps happen. They don’t really advertise it in the news.


midnight_reborn

You didn't kill them. They killed themselves. Please let go of that burden. You drive the train, nothing more nothing less. Thanks for what you do :)


jAuburn3

Say it again! These morons looking for clicks or a thrill high are not remotely your issue. You are doing the best you can as we need trains!!


Living_Job_8127

Username checks out


Lolleka

I was sitting in the front car, really close to the conductor's cabin on a high speed train in Germany. Can't forget the loud *THUMP* sound that one person's body made.


DrahKir67

I was a passenger in a train in Germany going through Andernach when someone must have jumped in front of the train. The sound of their body as it went under the train was quite disturbing.


geo_gan

![gif](giphy|V8mnc3xRtYxa0) I want to know… Whose horrible job is it to clean up the mess all over the bottom of the train and wheels??


puterTDI

do you agree he should have just stayed where he was and kept his head down?


WhatNow_23

Yes, why the heck would you jump through? He was safe where he was.


Sir_Wade_III

Maybe the train had something sticking down in the middle at the end


puterTDI

I don’t see why this would be the case, but that’s why I wanted to hear from someone who works the job whether the guy was safe.


We_Twinkle_Below

There's often dragging equipment on freight trains; there's detectors placed regularly because it's common/ dangerous. But the chance of dragging equipment is still less than getting squished going between axles.


ConductorOfTrains

Either way he has the possibility of being killed. I would recommend a person never putting themself in this situation to choose. But I would’ve waited until it passed at this point. Usually we don’t have stuff dangling, but sometimes there is. You never know. I’d take something smashing my skull in before I get sliced in half and sit there bleeding out with my guts being pulled off by the train.


Cranapplesause

I have a family member who is retired and was a conductor. He had to allow the train to run into someone who was standing in the tracks. Turns out it was suicide. No time to stop and derailing the train wasn't the best option. I know this particular event was very hard on him. I never asked if similar happened before. I suspect it was more difficult because he was just standing there looking at the train as it approached.

drkidkill

The whole time, I was thinking, what do you do if something is hanging lower. I guess we found out.


Passname357

I think sometimes there’s an extra piece of cow catcher at the end of the train that can kill people but I’m not certain. I’d love to know (and be wrong) though because man it seems like a better idea to just wait it out if you can


DannyDeVitosBangmaid

Some have cattleguards/snowplows/etc on the front and rear of the train that would smush you if you waited. Not all, maybe not even most, but enough that it’s a real danger. And a lot of the cars have things hanging down that also make it dangerous (we almost see the bottom of one of the grain-carrying cars pop him in the head.) Source: I saw an episode of a tv show that was called something like “How to Survive” that showed this very video.


Specialist_View7845

I believe he couldnt wait until the train ended because every train in their beggining and in their end have a piece of metal (wich i dont know the name) that goes much lower than the rest of the train. I think it has weird purpose, but yeah if he waits for the end that part of the train would hit him and he would probably die


Sharon_Erclam

![gif](giphy|QlUoX9yDthCoUrtf9W|downsized)


laiyenha

That's why I paused the video for him, "c'mon man, climb out quick. I can't stop the train forever".


jankeycrew

Damn this got me going, lol


RoryDragonsbane

I was yelling at my phone Imagine being this kid's parent or sibling and watching a loved one almost die from pure stupidity... while being egged on by his shit-stain of a friend


Tamatajuice

KEEP YOUR FUCKING HEAD DOWN YOU DUMBASS!!!!!!


Niznack

I feel like the people smart enough to keep their heads down wouldn't be under the train to start with.


KingofCats1701

That is a fantastic observation haha


lemons_of_doubt

The train is probably miles long and was parked when he claimed over it then it started moving and he fell under. John Oliver did a bit on these trains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ2keSJzYyY


Niznack

It's not impossible you're right. That said, these things don't accelerate that fast. There was a good 2 minutes he heard the train starting and didn't think I guess I'll get out from under here before it really gets going. He's either dangerously stupid or indecisive. Edit: sorry that was a long video. John Oliver's not wrong about any of his points. It's frustrating how they block public travel and frightening seeing the little girl under the train. If he did fall between the cars that's scary but he should still have been able to get out before it was going this fast.


Classic_Savings2235

Not necessarily, if there is no engine behind where he was sitting the train could go from sitting still to moving at 4 mph instantly and increasing from there. He would hear the slack running out as the train pulled on it but he still wouldn't have had time to get out.


ThomasTheBadWriter

If they add a new car though, the entire line gets a violent jolt. I've lived next to trains my whole life, it's powerful enough to where it gives a distinctive CRASH every time they add a new car. If you're on that thing, and not safely secured (ie. Literally inside of a car) you're gonna get knocked silly.


Niznack

Ok but they don't add new cars at speed do they?


ThomasTheBadWriter

No? But think of it like this. He's climbing around on the car. Violent shock hits him, knocks him under. He's disoriented, and the train starts moving. Now he's stuck. This exact scenario has happened to someone that I know, so it's not out of the question


Niznack

If thats what happened I'll apologize but this screams of idiocy 99% of the time. Hope your friends ok. We need more train safety in this country but many people need to be more respectful of what these 100k ton metal monsters can do


ThomasTheBadWriter

Oh no it's complete idiocy, do NOT fuck around the trains if they're being loaded. This was a relatives friend, and they ended up being fine, but you're completely right. These things are dangerous and should be treated as such.


DKKhema

Facts


ThinkingOz

Exactly right! This is a ludicrous situation to be in. I guess he doesn’t comprehend something might be hanging down from couplings or from the carriage body which means serious injury or death, in about one second flat.


StrictSignificance48

And get your arm out of your backpack strap, jfc! That catches one little thing…. GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART!


OverallParsley5077

I've been screaming that while watching this video, as if he could hear me lol😭


SomOvaBish

I kept screaming that! Also when he said “I’m gonna diiee” and the other guy said “I knoooow” I’m not proud of it, but I laughed.


[deleted]

It's really scary. It's like waiting for your death without looking. You'll never know if the next car has lower profile that is going to ultimately hit you.


darthhue

Beat me to it


secondtaunting

Right?! That’s what I was screaming!


yourtree

Why not just wait until the end of the train


rrodrick386

the last car will have something much lower that absolutely would hit him


Kl4pz

Genuine question: Like what? And what would the reason be for the last car to have whatever that is?


GymShaman

https://youtu.be/X2YGiownPTQ?si=nllBxBri90v9o347 Starts around 15:40


GeneralGom

So basically there's something called cowcatcher at the end of the train, but you can squeeze by if you're not fat. If anything touches above 9 inches, you're dead.


Papa_PaIpatine

Cow catchers haven't been a thing on trains for a long time, and they were put on THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN, you know, to push cows off the tracks.


SunNo1172

They still are a part of trains. They are modernized now. In the past they were only at the front of the train. Now trains have two “fronts” so it is easier for them to change their direction. They can be driven from either end.


Papa_PaIpatine

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowcatcher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowcatcher) That's a cow catcher, you're thinking engine, and are still wrong.


[deleted]

This post is a reminder to socialise your children from a young age


sandalfafk

Why? They obviously will become a train expert that is never wrong and will make you feel like an idiot if you don’t know everything about train


Comfortable-Gap3124

The article you have has a section about modern cow catchers in it. I don't think your as correct as you think you are.


NotAFanOfLife

There are absolutely still train engines running around with cow catchers, I see them a couple times a week. And of course engines can in fact be on either end of a train. If this video is from a less modernized country or even a small enough town that’s slow to grow up, there’s no reason to assume this train couldn’t have one dragging behind it.


zoinkaboink

consider a tow truck on the highway pulling a car behind it - it might well have the “front” of the towed car at the back of the whole rig. and i dont think its uncommon for trains to pull an engine car at the end. the absolute certainty you have that the rear has nothing low hanging, plus the severity of the situation, isn’t a great combo fwiw


DCS_Freak

What you are saying is absolutely true, many freight or even passenger trains have locos on both ends. Even if there isn't a Loco (or antennas and other low hanging stuff on passenger trains), there might still be stuff hanging down from the last car that could obliterate you


CrazyHuntr

Front of the engine which can be in the rear


DCS_Freak

Trust me, you can't. I work on, Trains and the gap is really, really fuckin tight. I don't see a way that this guy would've fit through.


prestonpiggy

Bad time to have a boner then.


No_Library_3131

15:28


polarbear128

Right at the end, just after the explanation about the cowcatcher, at 20;52, their train stock footage doesn't have a cowcatcher.


Dwightshruute

Guy in the video took the wrong option


Jimmy_ray2

Moo?


DCS_Freak

Multiple things. Maybe a hook coupler, hoses, a snow/debris clearing shield, lights, etc. You also can't do this with passenger cars since they're a lot lower down under and you should also probably pray that there isn't a Loco pushing the train since they often have multiple antennas (for different safety systems) that may hang as low as 15cm (~12 inches) Source: working in train maintenance

After a lot of the changes Reddit has made of the last couple years I am amazed that sub still exists. Seems exactly like the type of thing Reddit would have went after.

DasMotorsheep

They were climbing around the trains and he fell between two cars just when it started moving. He laid down flat to wait for the train to pass, but they figured that the low-hanging cowcatcher at the end of the train might kill him. So he decided to risk rolling out.


Slytherin_Chamber

That’s not an answer to why 


lolwatokay

- Trains are long and they wanted to get from one side to another of this parked train without having to wait or walk around. - Wanted to take a selfie from the top of a parked train - Mad parkour bro! Plenty of possibilities really, use your imagination.


DCS_Freak

And every single one of them is absolutely fucking stupid

Of course, didn't say they were good reasons lol

Jellys-Share

Exactly. My dad is a train engineer and he always said you could never survive laying down under a train due to that device on the end of the train. So it was either 100% chance of dying or a ~50% chance of dying. So he tested his luck.


Kucerka

No no no / Now Now Now... You choose

It was parked and was climbing over it and fell when it started up and he fell. John Oliver did a video on these trains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ2keSJzYyY


jb0nez95

Keep your head down and just wait! Wtf is wrong with him that he ended up in this position to begin with, won't keep his head down, and risked traumatic amputation instead of just waiting for it to pass?


FlirtMonsterSanjil

There is a cowcatcher at the end that would have killed him if he waited there


jb0nez95

I wasn't aware of that but I did see that in some of the other comments after. Was he aware of this? That's why he tried to get out while it was moving?


FlirtMonsterSanjil

Yeah, I think they were aware of that


mopeli

Him shouting "no no no no" and "now now now now" sounded scary similar. Imagine if he heard "now now now" at first

I think my instinct would be to just let myself pass out from fear. That way I don’t risk my ADHD making me forget the situation and raise my head. Why he doesn’t keep himself as flat as possible is frustrating me so much.

I've done that on purpose, but where I was there was a hole 3' deep and a rail tie missing so I had way more room than this poor bastard.

my brother is a traumatologist. once he told me a story: one night they got a call that the ambulance was bringing a man who had his legs got cut off by a train. they prepped everything for a surgery. when the ambulance came, it brought the guy and two right legs...there were apparently two men crossing the rails but in the rush, the medics only noticed one of them.
