Is it wrong of me to think "go on sneeze" as the train went over?

Mate of mine used to work on the railways, so did my uncle. They'd find severed body parts quite often.
Absolute idiots.
Just think what must be going through the mind of the train driver!

A mate of mine while I was still at school got hit by a train, the mess was spread between sandy and biggleswade. The though of someone doing this kind of thing just makes me sick, as far as I'm concerned this person needs psychiatric treatment urgently.

I doubt these people who do this have any idea how at risk they are and how they could easily die.
They see this only as entertaintment and outdoing eachother and that is very sad that people have got to be like this.

Already has :(


The video on YouTube is thought to be part of a sick twist on "chicken", in which teenagers are now seeking to outdo each other with their daredevil stunts.

Internet sites have been flooded with footage of dangerous games which see youngsters vying with each other by risking their lives.

They would only do it once in my area, it is an old third live rail system. Touch the rail and "blackpool illuminations"

Same here to mate, all the driver would have seen was the body on the track, for all the driver knew it could have been a suicide attempt. I've seen programmes where the drivers have had to go off work on sick leave due to the stress caused by fruit loops doing stunts like this.

Or seeing it on the Daily Mail website.

Fun reading the comments on that clip:

"The potential for injury to innocent passengers had the driver slammed on the brakes was immense."

No it wasn't.

"Let me guess, if a train driver screeches to a halt and hits one of these fools, resulting in multiple deaths, what will the courts do? Oh yes, a three week supervision order and a slap on the hand. Our country is falling apart by the actions of low-intelligence idiots like this."

Trains don't screech to a halt and it was apparently in Poland* (it's certainly not a British train) so ask them. You do get a particular class of moron in Daily Mail comment columns.

* Looks like one of these - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKP_class_SU45 - so I'd say Poland was a safe bet.
