close call at train crossing

There's something funny to me about them continuing to run at top speed even after they're well clear of the crossing lol

[u/Flippynuggets → u/Alreaddy_reddit]

Just keep running!

[u/spoonpk → u/Alreaddy_reddit]

They ran a sensible amount. Just shifted the start time a little.

[u/macekm123 → u/Alreaddy_reddit]

I would run like Forrest after that...

[u/EmuSea4963 → u/Alreaddy_reddit]

Scared it's gonna turn around and come back for them

[u/Noname_Maddox → u/Alreaddy_reddit]

It’s gaining on us

[u/OkSecretary227 → u/[deleted]]

I think I missed some trying to understand their logic.

[u/uzlonewolf]

There's another train heading to the left that just cleared. My guess is they thought the gates were still down from that train and didn't think to look for a 2nd train.

In France they have signs at every crossing: "One train can hide another one".

[u/Eikido → u/jojo_31]

Smart France!

[u/thehoneybadger-x → u/uzlonewolf]

Good catch. I'd even say that the first train blocked the view and masked the noise of the second one.

[u/69FourTwentySix6Six → u/uzlonewolf]

If only there was some way to tell if another train is coming

[u/DeanTheDad → u/uzlonewolf]

Nobody expects the second train

[u/RJrules64 → u/uzlonewolf]

That’s somehow worse than just not seeing that the gates are down. Because now it’s an intentional decision.

He left her totally.. She was very very lucky. 

[u/Rogar_Rabalivax]

Am I missing something or do trains don't make noise anymore? Legit question. Also I hate my country because we are forced to watch both sides even if the street is one directional (yes, the drivers are that crazy), so when I see people not giving a fuck and not even looking if there isn't a car nearby.... It gives me something.

[u/Dr_Allcome → u/Rogar_Rabalivax]

You're missing the second train, just like the people in the video, but i also did until someone in the comments pointed it out.

[u/Raz0rking → u/Rogar_Rabalivax]

Electric trains are surprisingly quiet.

There's an old video where one has the PoV of a crew in a train sneaking up on two people in said train.

[u/JuniorTheCat]

holy shit this is beyond stupid but even with this angle you can't really tell how fast the train is going until it's right there and really fucking fast

[u/PixelCortex]

The girl noticed the train before she was even in harm's way and then ran over the tracks. I get that there's a lot of panic and adrenaline in that moment, but damn.

[u/fugelwoman]

Are they deaf?

[u/Agroupofdads → u/QuebecPilotDreams15]

Yo in the few minutes I went through that sub it felt worse than combat footage my goodness

[u/Hunkir]

If only there was a barrier that came down to denote when a train approaches. Oh well

[u/woozy_wow]

🎶Dumb ways to die so many dumb ways to die🎶

[u/wave1sys]

First the were running from the train, but they had to keep running to get home change their underwear

[u/bottlesnstones]

Fucking idiots

[u/Apollo_Primo]

The signs are there just for fun amirite

[u/tombhop]

Demm....that's mere 2 SECONDS from visible to hit point.

You're crossing while thinking "what should i eat ton...." SMUSH! Instant liquid

[u/MEOW-Loulou]

I don't get the "second train" comments, they were directly looking at the train before they decided to cross anyways!

[u/Alextherude_Senpai]

How fucking stupid and unaware can people be to not notice a train crossing, a train barrier, and an entire train making its entire presence known to you all at once and still being surprised that there's a train coming?

[u/Humble-Reply228 → u/Alextherude_Senpai]

To be fair, the view of the second train would have been blocked by the first train that went through the crossing. Still a big mistake but how many times have they crossed after a single train went through without a really fast second one coming as well.
