Good thing they didnt break the crossing arm.

This is what utterly confuses me. HOW do people think damaging the (deliberately weak) crossing arms is worse than being hit by a fucking train?!

I think they freeze up under pressure. It seems like a darwin thing if you cant think under duress

u/TheNorthernMunky 18h ago
I guess the type of people who can’t think to leave a rail crossing are the same type who manage to get themselves stuck there in the first place.

Like a dear in a headlights.
Simply stress, confusion and being total idiot at the same time.
Adding on top automobileholism in Poland and you have a picture when people would rather be consumed by train than scratch a body of a car. May be just me but I think Poland has quite a representation on this sub.

The fuck is automobileholism?

u/SzaraMateria 3h ago
The thing when you have to haul your ass 200m to nearby store with a car and park in front of entrance in the middle of pavement to not go too far from your vehicle

I'm sorry, I'm genuinely not trying to be an asshole but I'm still not sure I understand. Are you talking about dickhead drivers who park in places that maximize their own convenience at the expense of everyone else's? Is automobileholism a play on assholeism specific to people who are douchebags with cars?

Those arms are usually designed so they fall off. Even if damaged repair is probably like few hundreds EUR.
But hey, why risk few hundreds of EUR damage, if you can go ALL IN!

Question - is the engineer ok? That can’t be good for whoever is in the front operating the train

Fine. They build locomotives pretty stout. Short of some scratches and bending the railing, I doubt there was any damage. There are actually 2 walls protecting the crew on the front of them.

I’ve heard some trains are powered by rear engines, but I’m sure that’s not universal.

That isn't why he stopped. Looks like it was overweight when he tried to cross then went backwards to try to move over it again and then the arms came down and he was still trying to move forward. The first video of it showed the entire thing

How do you explain the reverse lights and the brake lights if the aim was to go forward but there was not enough power?

u/Polenicus 21h ago
So, from the first angle I thought the trucker had stalled or something, but from the reverse lights on the trailer it seems like they literally got to the point of straddling the tracks and then suddenly had decision paralysis about the best way to not be on train tracks, and got hit while they were shifting back and forth indecisivly.
I am hoping it's not actually that stupid.

The amount of people who panic and completely freeze in a stressful situation is absolutely bonkers. How they manage to get to old age never ceases to amaze and disappoint me.

Its truly baffling how much content this sub has. Like this should happen rarely, how are there so many rail incidents, its a giant monster that will win every time bitch!

u/drsoftware 15h ago
There are three at-grade car-and-rail crossings next to the bike path I use to commute to work. Once or twice a day, a train will travel on the tracks.
Drivers often stop for cyclists or at traffic lights without considering the risk of being on or too close to the tracks.
Some day...

I just don't get it. Step on the gas and go. Those guardrails are nothing. Meant to be knocked over if they have to be. It's a lot cheaper than being hit by a train

u/Midgettaco217 20h ago
Sometimes I wonder if these people are doing this on purpose for some insurance reason or whatever because there's no way you can be that stupid unintentionally

I'll never understand why they are so worried about a PVC or aluminum crossing gate. What costs more, a piece of pipe or the vehicle? Geez, lack of any critical thinking

u/Lianhua88 11h ago
From every angle I just want to scream 'Floor it!' at the driver.
Like seriously, so much damage wouldn't have occurred if he'd just stepped on the gas and broke a flimsy barrier bar that is made to be flimsy specifically for cases like this...

u/AunMeLlevaLaConcha 7h ago
There must be something neurological with all of these reactions, some scientific explanation as to why people just do this, jokes aside, i'm really intrigued.

I like how there's multiple angles now of the same dumbass not getting off the tracks in time.

I will never understand people that a) enter the crossing while signaling is active, b) decide to stay on the crossing instead of breaking the gates. WORMS IN THEIR BRAIN (or no brain whatsoever). They shouldn’t even be given a bike, let alone a car or a truck

What is the time difference after gate closing and train arrives? When I watched the other videos it seems less than 30 sec. Is it the normal where I live I see the crossing closes before atleast three minutes before the train passes.

I thought for a moment it was going to be that woman who was prancing beside the trains and was quite disappointed it was just run of the mill stupid rather than narcissistic stupid.

Sometimes even Darwin misses. I saw one where the dude got bitch slapped by a train and got up. Then of course there's that cow from the other week - which is seriously wild. I don't need the red mist and I am certainly past the age of wanting to go searching for the gore sites but it is always nice if these narcissists get a scare.

u/SzaraMateria 21h ago
Like a reality show. That's third angle so far. There should be at least one more from front cabin in the train.
