2. Looks like he jumped the barrier. “Innocent”? Why not “stupid” or “foolhardy,” when his choice of actions contributed to the near-tragedy?

3. Stupid is exactly the right word for this idiot, it is obivous that there are barrier gates which are down and there are other people who are much smarter than this idiot who are doing the right thing, which is standing behind the gates.
   I’m pesonally a big fan of grade seprated crossings, But i also understand that for many reasons not every crossing can be grade seprarted.
   This idiot was lucky.

11. LOL @ mdogg.

    I know! Huge corporations really do pay people to look for random transit-related message boards and talk down the opinions of transit enthusiasts, who pose such a threat to their corporate bottom line!

12. It WAS a corporate commercial—for trainers. Notice how his right one was struck by the train and puled off—but survived? THAT’s the gimmick: shoes that make you so fast you not only outrun speeding trains but the shoes themselves! haha
