Curling on the train tracks at 3:30. Pushups earlier.
Apparently this wasn’t a new thing for him.

I had already mentioned that. I was using it as a possible reason he may have felt comfortable enough not to take precautions.

Not trying to single you out, but how “on guard” do you need to be around a train? IT’S A FUCKING TRAIN. It is literally something the size of a building turned on its side rolling by at high speeds while making monstrous noises. It is impossible to not see or hear. Only recently aware of this guy, but maybe he wasn’t as pumped on life as he claimed to be and he threw himself in front of the train with the cameras rolling so he’d be remembered for going out with a bang?[/quote]
So you question my “on guard” position, but the notion of a heroic suicide is what you’re asserting instead? LOL

Don’t think there’s anything “heroic” about it. I’m not saying that that’s what happened. I’m saying that makes way more sense than “he was distracted so he didn’t hear a 50 ton locomotive heading directly at him”.[/quote]
No it doesn’t. There are several tracks there and perhaps he didn’t hear the train that hit him because another train a couple of tracks over had been passing through.

Again, it’s a train. There is no possible way you wouldn’t hear/see/sense the presence of a fucking train right next to you, even if you were “distracted” by a train a couple of tracks over.[/quote]
Here’s 8 minutes of people nearly getting wacked by a train. This is one of many on youtube… 1:34 is nuts.

That’s crazy! Blows my mind that someone could get sneak attacked by a train. Even though the vid states these were misses that was still hard to watch.
If this energy drink story is true, then damn, what an asshole.
Who, in their right state of mind, puts themselves in a position where they are likely to be killed and someone else (the train driver) completely unwillingly has to watch them die, and even feel some of the responsibility?
Yeah, if he was actually running in FRONT of the train and not next to it then I have lost sympathy with him as that’s gone from accident to bringing it on yourself.
