survival instinct, I'd bet it would be very hard not to chicken out in those moments when you are laying there waiting for the train to come
yeah i cant argue with that. i want to be brave enough.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm so tired….Train-pedestrian accidents - PubMed
The aim of this study was to evaluate the injury pattern, morbidity, and mortality in pedestrians involved in train accidents. The study was performed in the Hacettepe University School of Medicine, Turkey. Hospital records of 41 cases who were hit by train between the period of 1985-97 were...
This is a pretty old and small study, but out of their 9 documented purposeful attempts, 3 lived. Out of all the people in the study (which includes people who fell in front of trains, so they weren't doing it on purpose), 83% lived. And I've anecdotally heard a shocking number of pedestrian train crash survivors. This method has a concerningly high failure rate considering survivors are likely disfigured and/or disabled in some way.
If you're sure of it, I'd do some research on the trains that use the tracks you're considering. Most trains move very slowly through populated areas to reduce the risk of fatalities.
I've thought about this too but you will hear and feel the tracks rumbling when the train is miles away
i live right near a train. i always hear it and feel it when im laying in bed. idk its tempting.
Does the train ever disturb your sleep? Also, does your room vibrate or something when the train goes by?
no im so used to it by now. sometimes it can be comforting. and yes i feel the rumbling.
Subway seems (?) to be deadlier given how you can't really be pushed to the side like in regular trains. Maybe I'm wrong though, I'll have to research it more.
Was it the one where he was on his phone, presumably texting his family goodbye? Yea that one was fucked up. Wonder what even went through his mind in those final moments.

Il s'agit d'une étude assez ancienne et de petite envergure, mais sur les 9 tentatives délibérées documentées, 3 ont abouti à une survie. Parmi toutes les personnes incluses dans l'étude (y compris celles tombées accidentellement sous un train), 83 % ont survécu. J'ai également entendu parler d'un nombre impressionnant de piétons ayant survécu à des accidents ferroviaires. Cette méthode présente un taux d'échec alarmant, d'autant plus que les survivants sont souvent défigurés et/ou handicapés.
Si vous en êtes sûr, je vous conseillerais de vous renseigner sur les trains qui empruntent les voies que vous envisagez. La plupart des trains circulent très lentement dans les zones habitées afin de réduire les risques d'accidents mortels.
That's sad. Rest in peace.This girl who was a travel influencer stepped in front of a train near her house in Santa Barbara, where I live. seems like she just heard the train and went outside to get on the tracks

we are overthinking it. and I think she just got to a point where she said 'fuck it' I can't do this anymore.That's sad. Rest in peace.
But why do other people succeed and not me/us?
it is sad but at the same time I've very envious.That's sad. Rest in peace.
But why do other people succeed and not me/us?
put on some ear phones with ur fav music to reduce the loud noise of the tracks and train. and it will help u feel relaxed and ready for whats coming. and before u know it, u r dead when the train rammed through ur neck and head is split from body in an instant. People might think this is hard, but its very easy. its gng to be painless and done in < than a second.
can anyone share the link to that video ?
it will be. laying neck down on tracks is an option but as people have said your brain survival instincts may engage and literally force you up. jumping in front of one or divebombing down onto the rail may be the best but still, small chance there may be resistance. whatever works best for you but that speed will do the trick for sure
I think I'm just going to stand there on the track, zone out... and wait for it to hit me. Thanks for answering by the way!
of course!! best of luck friend i hope everything goes smoothly for you! <3
