Thats one stun you cant pay a stunman to do
Stunts & tricksIt's suicidal thoughts as well
It can be, but it definitely doesn't have to be. I've met plenty of people who've never even thought of taking their own lives who would definitely be stupid enough to try something like this
Skydivers with wingsuits are not suicidal.....riders of fast motorbikes are not suicidal......its just that the statistics are not in their favour.....
Sometimes I eat tacos from random food trucks. I’m kind of a rebel.
I’ve torn the “do not remove” label off a mattress. I’m no stranger to danger.
ive called the police, theyre on their way
I read this while dropping a fat wet shit, can confirm
The hero we need
Sometimes I eat tacos from random food street vendors in Mexico… I might need help
The statistics are less in their favour than if they didn't do those things, but they are still in their favour. Most people are surviving doing this stuff.
Being passively suicidal can be just as deadly as being actively suicidal 🤷♂️
There's a fine line between controlled thrill seeking and actively trying to temp death
My house mate and I got stuck waiting for a train to pass when we were on our way walking to a restaurant. It was moving pretty slowly. My house mate, who was very athletic, said "I bet I could jump over the couplings". I said "yeah, probably." He held out his cellphone, and asked if I would film him doing it, and I gave him a bland smile and just pointed at the train.
He did not try to jump it lol. But if he had been with some of his dude friends egging him on, instead of me looking very not-impressed, he probably would have done it.
They are simply subconsciously suicidal
Or lack of thoughts to begin with.
Yes, if there was a small metal piece sticking out down, he's dead.
*stunman
Wow this is beyond doing stuns this is suicide!
yupp, sad to think that someone's child is this level of smort. I guess we all have done something incredibly stupid but this boy took the cake and straight hug smashed it
Worth mentioning: a 16 year old just attempted this in my city. Panicked at the last second and tried to roll out of the way.. didn’t get out in time and ended up losing both legs and an arm. The pressure and heat of the wheels/rail cottorized (sp?) the wounds instantly. Now the kid is living the rest of his life as basically a torso because he tried to copy some Tik Tom stunt. The train wins every time man.
*cauterized
but yeah no that’s actually an insane story
tried to copy some Tik Tom stunt.
Dad?
It's over, Anakin...
Got the hard part of the ultimate cosplay done...
Stupid train had the high ground
Source?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/1ck65f9/after_16yearold_injured_in_winnipeg_train_crash/
The articles have been light on details, but there are witnesses describing what happened in the comments.
Thanks brother. Yeah this was it - my brother works that line at CN. He knows the team working at the time.
Reddit source became its own source. The linked situation is not the same and that one is where a teen was laying on the track with their legs dangled over and headphones on. They didn't hear the train coming
I don't think reddit comments are a reliable source
Tell John Henry the train wins every time. He wouldn't believe you.
Fucking lol. No longer a kid either. Genius.
Fucking idiot probably gave the engineer a heart attack and made him stop the train and waste time searching for a body.
Yeah genuinely that’s what I was thinking & the only person I would’ve felt sorry for. The poor engineer is probably scared to death right now thinking they just had to watch the death of an idiot man child.
afaik trains usually have details in the bottom, that are low enough to hit a lying body, so it was a death risk for the guy
Kid I knew did this on a dare, got hit by a hanging chain and dislocated his shoulder. Luckily the train was going maybe 10 mph.
He's incredibly lucky he didn't die. Used to work with a guy that tried to hop on a train that was only going a few mph and ended up getting his leg sliced off mid-thigh.
Trains are not to be fucked with!
Now he always has to hop on the train.
Heard he works at a pancake restaurant now.
This needs more upvotes
He wanted to hop on train. Now he be hopping everywhere
When asked why he did it, he couldn’t answer. He was stumped.
I had a friend whose dad got the ends of both his feet chopped off trying to do the same
How did he try to hop on could you explain further?
Well he only had one leg so he just hopped y’know..
probably just missed the jump and leg landed on the tracks
I remember my grandmother telling a story like that about a relative that was playing around with a train like that probably in the 1940's and ended up getting a leg chopped off.
There’s a part of my brain that thinks it would be soooo much fun to try jumping onto a train (and jumping off) but yes the tiniest mistake and you’re dismembered or dead. Even if the train is crawling by.
I should also mention I’m 30 and extremely out of shape
All it takes is one loose piece of metal and you're done
Yep, I’ve heard of stories where someone thought it was a risky and cool idea to do that, he got caught and dragged miles before he died.
They need to go over concrete block that cars drive on. Although still a chain could be deadly
Yes, but this only means that someone lean enough so that not a single part of their body clears the height of the rail (about half a foot, which I suppose is possible, with your feet and head held tightly sideways) would be safe. I don’t imagine this is most people.
Seems like a good activity for very small children, then.
Or just might have some broken part or debris hangin lower than normally.
He was nearly stunned
A stunned stun man.
How stunning
Nearly stewed.
Don't do this in the UK, hanging electrical boxes barely scrape the deck
In Denmark too......
Don’t know the difference between Danish and Dutch, huh?
They're from the US, no doubt lol
no no that’s the Netherregions
Don’t do this really
Yes don't do this, period.
Don't have a period?
In my experience there is less risk in the UK becasue theres a good chance the train will just get delayed or cancelled
Saved a few suicides that has...
They get bored and go home.
Luckily I'm not in the UK, so we gucci. Let's try it
It's fucking stupid!
Worked in a railyard before with LPG tankers, I think it goes without saying DON’T fucking do this. Most railcars and locomotives are designed to where there’s a gap under the belly, but some cars are lower and will absolutly demolish you. Plus the air hoses could hang lower and wack you in general
Fool!
Not even joking, two people were just hit and killed by a train in my town. Only three days ago... I hate when people fuck with trains. Imagine the pain of the conductor if this went wrong.
I wish he got a boner when the train came, then it ripped it off on the way over.
Bad time to be horny for trains.
This is a bad time to read
Takes train spotting to a whole new level
Or having a a train run on you.
So he won't reproduce
Yep, stop the cycle lol
Best way to keep stupidity from breeding.
Start a charity for this called "Drive-by for humanity"
He ain’t no Don Johnson, y’know.
Stunt. The word is stunt. There's a second t.
Sunt. Got it!
Tstun- the first T is silent.
No, c’mon now. Sttun. Like they said. Ttwo tees.
TTEES* JESUS!
*JEBUS
Stutn*
Shuddap proffessor McEnglish. Noone caresses abot whut u say!
Typos are a way bots/farmers use to increase engagement on a post.
Not a stunt.
Just a fucking idiot screwing around on train tracks (which is illegal by the way) and probably causing a lot of stress for the engineer, and a shit ton of paperwork for the railroad as a whole.
This person is just a selfish ass who will get themselves killed, while making it someone else's problem. All because they can't be bothered to use their brains for anything other than (rail)roadkill.
Dont forget ispiring others to do the same
How to speed run a Darwin award.
Does this comment have to be made on every single post on this sub?
Yes. Yes it does.
One low hanging part and bro wouldve been gutted
My thoughts and fear exactly.
social media has brought many people to a painful death
It's all fun and games til you sneeze
I can hear the brakes - poor operator must be devastated and traumatised... That "stuntman" is an imbecil... 😒
This is one chain away from a nasty result.
Fertilizer explosion has entered the chat.
Risking your life in such a painful way for likes and views. Stupid.
My question is: did people do this before or did this stupidity only start with social media?
nevermind... I think I have the answer
Weve always been the same level of stupid. Its just more obvious now that everyone can record and share their stupidity with close to zero effort.
yeah i remember a video on LiveLeak that was taken from a VHS tape from like '88 (old school vhs would default to show the date on the video), of 4 kids doing this in Peru
Yeah I did this as an 11 year old in the early 90s.
Did you live?
Yeah nothing happened but probably still dangerous as fuck. Don't recommend
Was this the answer
It was an answer.
Nothing new under the sun
There were always stupid people, but thanks to social media, stupid has a wider influence. Stupid encourages stupid, which then breeds and reproduces MORE stupid, and the cycle continues.
Yet people are still waiting for a zombie apocalypse like there aren't already hoards of people in desperate need of some goddamn brains.
Many people did this before they were just unable to post the video
The ones who die doing it are still unable to post the video.
Around the US they installed track train scanners, the train pass by and it scans the wheels for slipping and the carts for dragged hardwear
Hardwear chains and connecting hoses etc
Its such a serious problem they invested in detection for it, and rail companies known for cheaping on safety systems
This have absolutely no relation to a video of an idiot laying on the tracks and letting a train pass hiim
What an awesome stun! Stunmen everywhere are jealous! 🙄
The last few frames of the allegedly unedited video show another train engine that appears to not be moving
This is the Long Island railroad. You're seeing the cab car on the end of that train, which is stopped because the engineer in the locomotive definitely saw this kid and threw it into emergency.
Looks like it’s a train with a loco on each end. They do that on some LIRR trains
That’s because the train driver slammed on his brakes when he saw someone on the tracks and was braking* the whole time. At the end of the video you can see the stationary train.
*brakes/braking
Nah, trains don't stop that quickly. It went from fading into the distance to a dead stop 20 ft past him in one quick camera movement. Also, there's no way the engineer isn't absolutely leaning on the horn all the way through.
They got a death wish
Culling the herd
What if a loose nut or a loose rod is hanging from the train. This guy will never know what hit em
the loose nut lay under the train with a vidcam
but the more I watch some of these clips, the more I feel like I'm admiring some clever cutting to make the stupid activate palmsweat
I did not see any tasers stunning a stun man.

Your T key is broken
What's a stun?
Sometimes the air hose between the cars hang lower than normal. Getting hit by one of those glad hands would be fatal.
The family of the deceased would want to sue the railroad but would lose because the person was trespassing.
The guy recording the video probably doesnt even realize how close he was to death.
The word you're looking for is stunt not stun
Stun.... downvote
That train is braking pretty hard he's lucky it wasn't a longer train or he'd have stuck for a while.
Stuntman? Or possible attempt?
What a HORRIBLE thing to do to the train conductor, this ‘child’ man should be arrested, this isn’t cool or funny. It’s disgusting.
A kid was doing that for tiktok in my city, lost his nerve, and tried to roll off the tracks but didn't do it fast enough. Lost both legs and an arm.
More like Sweaty Camera.
Fuck this guy…fuck em. Just fuck right off.
Give this man a darwin award
Strait to prison, the driver just had a mini heart attack .
you had 2 chances to write stunt
This might be one of the most stupid things I have ever seen anyone do. Horrible idea, and not anything to 'impress' someone with.
“Stunman” huh?
Yeah it’s a bot so they forgot to fix title.
One loose chain, and you're a bag of meat dragged 320 miles till it stops next.
You don't fuck with trains.
Stunt*
You need 1 thing hanging under the train and you're dead. Just one. You move and then get totally trashed by the rest of the train.
Stunner
Thats stun(t)ing
Fuck this kid.
The poor conductor.
Kid could have killed everyone on the train if the conductor derailed trying to stop.
If the kid wants to kill himself, I don't care. His body, his choice. But do that shit privately on his fucking own. Don't try to take a bunch of people with him.
Stun
T
We did this as kids my god we were dumb 😁😁
Double misspelled title for more engagement. Noice
I had a kid named Sergio in high school do this. While eating an apple he was explaining to the class and science teacher how there’s enough room under the train and between the tracks to where a body wouldn’t get hit. The teacher said it’s was a really bad idea and he shouldn’t do it. He still did it.
He will probably face criminal charges. Steep price for a stupid stunt.
I don't get the though patterns that lead someone to do this. A train is a serval tons of metal, being propelled down the track by some of the more powerful engines we have. Someone then decides to mess with that.
How do you know there isn’t some piece of the train hanging down lower than the rest of the bottom?! Brain dead I tell ya!
This was really retarded, he got that right. I was hearing the train brake hard, so I was waiting for it to come to a stop with him under it.
Well, he wasn’t wrong
Edit: fucking autocorrect
He’s the #1 stunna
You could definitely pay a stuntman to do this, this guy did it for free
You can’t pay a stunman though.
but it is one dum you can pay a dumman to do
at least he’s self aware 😂
Have to be a dumb cun to do this stun
My eyes went 0_0
I’m pretty stunned
*stunt
0:20 That back scoop looks too low for him to be able to pass without injury. Fake? + I dont hear the horn and the breakes...
No alentemos a idiotas como este, para que más personas hagan lo mismo, lo repudio
The Swan. Roald Dahl.
This makes me think of buster keaton
That could easily be done with a pair of fake legs and a camera rig. Why should any stuntman bother with it? For any other shots you can film a dummy in that place.
thank god reddit got this one, could you imagine when he gets drunk and decides to try and show this to someone after he's gained like two pounds or just not taken a shit. this stupid ass boy, that's all I'm going to say, this is the last thing that parents need their children to emulate, God please forbid someone's daughter is ever dumb enough to go anywhere with him
Dammit now I wanna watch Nerve again.

No stunt man will do it because it’s not a stunt, it’s stupidity.
