Re: lying on track as train hurtles overhead

and how's that going to someone seeing it on youtube and trying to copy it?
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.
