(Viewed 1696 times) bouncewiggle  Location: Johnson City, TN Gender: Female  |  |  |  What NOT to do with trains... < on 4/1/2009 8:44 PM >   Russian teens apparently have a new hobby, according to this article: http://www.13above...with-her-life.html). The basic idea is to wait by train tracks for a while until one is approaching. Then you run out onto the tracks and fling yourself down between the rails. The conductor doesn't have time to brake, so the train just flies over you (theoretically). All's fun and games until something under the train snags you in the crotch and turns you into a bloody pulp. Crazy Russians. The article is pretty poorly written, but the pictures are interesting. Not at all something I'd recommend trying.

That is just crazy! the closest thing we did with trains is the quarter or penny taped to the tracks and it would smash it. As I just typed that I just realized how stupid that was too, not because it was really dangerous just the fact why would one do it?

But I have done something similar, albeit much safer. When we were kids, we'd climb up the underneath of a large train trestle just outside of our hometown. We could stick our arms up through the ties & wave to the oncoming train, if we wanted to. It was a pretty good rush, but it's not like we were in danger of being run over or anything. I used to work in a factory which built locomotive parts (brake control valves were our main product) and I can tell you from that experience & what I've seen after many years of hanging out on the aforementioned trestle that it's quite common for certain cables etc. to come loose & hang down quite low underneath a train. If a release valve test lever had been hanging low (which is common enough) that girl would be dead.

(Although actually we'd just lay inside the track without the 'jumping in front of the train thing') Old news! Chris... We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

I passed when offered the opportunity, but i saw photos taken by participants somewhere...

Before they knew it, a train was approaching and he and one of his friends were able to get down into these buckets that they had for the workers, but one of their friends was not so lucky. My father watched his friend get smushed under a train when he was about 10 years old. http://www.flickr.com/photos/aklm/ hydrotherapy  Clever Girl Location: Circle of Least Confusion RPS is inside all of us  |  |  Re: What NOT to do with trains... <Reply # 15 on 4/2/2009 7:44 PM >   Photos 2 and 4 are the same image, just flipped horizontally and sharpened/contrasted differently. I question the legitimacy of these photos. Also some questionable matching up in the close-up/faraway photos with the given side of the track, foliage and clothing kids are wearing. Depth of field is kinda shitty on 8. I call it staged. And if it's not, who cares. Kids deserve to be smushed. Get down, girl, go 'head, get down.

No matter what it isn't going to stop even if he sees you. Posted by DJ Craig Awesome! I wish that wasn't practically suicidal, because if it wasn't, it would sound like a huge pile of fun!!! This sounds like something uLiveYouBurn would do... Yes, yes it does. My dad has done something similar to this. In the 70's he used to go out onto RxR bridges and used to hang down by his arms underneath and watch the train go over. The worst that would have happened would have been him falling into the river below; and he was a very strong swimmer. "No risk, no reward, no fun." "Go all the way or walk away" escensi omnis...

Then we walked forever, threatened Kiefer Sutherland with a pistol, and then I wrote a book, and sounded suspiciously like Richard Dreyfuss. Good times. Leaving it as I found it since 1987.
