Would laying your head on the traintrack work as a painless death?

[cemzig]

i was wondering if putting only your head (so it cuts your head and guarantees death),
And maybe i could have loud enough ear phones with noise cancelation, that could block out the noise from the train, making sure i can't back out and get hurt while surviving?
The train isn't super fast and its semi modern

I don't think so and you would traumatize a hell of a lot of people

Few seconds of imense pain and shock

 

[DeathSweetDeath]

Yeah, I do think you'd feel it, but not for long.

Assuming it's the type of trains we have in North America, you would not be able to block it out. Your head would start to vibrate when the train is still 10 minutes away (4-5 miles depending on speed, track substrate, etc) and by the time it gets to you, the bouncing and sound would be headache inducing. Then with the horn blowing as soon as the engineer sees you, it would be traumatic to say the least. But, assuming, you keep your head on the track, DeathSweetDeath is correct, you wouldn't feel it for long. What is interesting is what happens if the train locks its front wheels before impact? Does that mean you get pushed by the locked wheel or will it still go over the skull? I've seen several train suicides at WPD but nothing to indicate a locked wheel.

LRT's may be slightly different - Light Rail Transit - that are smaller versions of the large transport/passenger trains.

I live in europe and this is how they look
Its a passenger train and it goes max 99m/h, its not a high speed train and it runs on electricity

youre gnarly for even considering this. just jump at that point. imagine living and getting dragged by the train for 5 minutes or something before you die.

 

[Alcoholic Teletubby]

Thought about doing this while having a black bag tied around my head and earphones on/earbuds on with music blasting.

Alas, I am neither brave nor patient enough. I also don't want to inconvenience ppl's lives anymore with trauma.

...also don't want body pics to possibly end up online.

In NA, those are Light Rail / Rapid Transit (LRT). They would be the ones that used for subways and intra-city movement. The biggest issue for those is they can stop quite quickly depending on weight and track conditon. "Quickly" is all relative but I think most suicides jump in front of them at the last minute. The laying down or head on rails method seems to work better with heavier train transport. Regardless of method chosen, the engineer, conductor and perhaps a lot of the passengers will probably be traumatized.

 

[Roseate]

No, that definitely would hurt. Like badly.

For you, but not for the dozens of people you'll definitely traumatize. If there's really no changing your mind, at least be decent and hang your self or something; there's no need to go scarring people like that.
