The teenagers and kids do stupid things like that over here. Dont know how your trains work over in the US but over here you can get electrocuted from the train tracks. There was a program on TV last year showing kids as young as 8 years old messing about on the train tracks.
Trains have a pretty higher clearing, depending on the guard, the train itself can clear a cow laying between the tracks.
It's dangerous, but the rush is wroth it. This is less extreme / dangerous than other extreme activities, like 1000 foot climbs with no anchors, parachuting with no chute, or cave diving with no tanks, and the list is long.

Some of us might need this (parachuting with no chute) explained?
Yeah, you jump out of a plane with no chute and link on when you catch up. Everyone knows what is going on, it really isn't as dangerous as it sounds. You do hit the ground rather hard but the rush is pure amazing.
Really dangerous is tossing a grenade into water and everyone jumping in, last one up buys the booze.
I know a guy who used to do that. It can be done. The trains are pretty high off the ground, and there is no sucking or pull. Just a fast and very loud train over your head.
HOWEVER sometimes there are low hanging chains or cables that could hit you, catch you and drag you until you die.
lol looks like he checked if all his parts were still there at the end!
I think he did the best thing he could He checked to make sure there si not another train coming right after. It would suck if he successfully completed his crazy stunt, he'd get up only to get completely owned by the following train...
I hope mine are smarter than the people in this thread who think that is real, and "know" people who have done that.
That must be some really strong hair spray and one hella of a brand of starch in his jacket to just lay there like that as the trees sway but his hair and jacket don't move an inch.
