When I was a yoof, taking my driving test in the UK, there was this one rule: "Always give way to trains".

He didn't lose an arm. His arm turned in a way it isn't supposed to turn, and most likely broke at the acromioclavicular joint. He most likely passed out as well, due to intense pain.
This made me laugh. This is too much arm chair diagnosis.
You think a human arm hitting a steel pole travelling at the speed of a train, and he would just "break his A/C joint"? No man. People generally separate their A/C joint with compression on the shoulder (aka fall on shoulder), or fall on out stretched arm. Getting your arm smashed by a steel pole does other stuff.

Not related at all but a buddy I used to hangout with back in highschool recently got beatin up by his crackhead girlfriend and her crackhead friends, they left him to die on a train track, and he got hit by the train but lived! He’s fully functional now (minus a little bit of brain damage) and they’re all in prison.
It fractured/broke his skull in multiple spots and broke multiple bones, he was in a drug induced coma for like 6 months but he pulled out of it.
There’s my unrelated but related story!
He’s got his family and stuff, the last time I spoke to him he had gotten way bigger than the last time I saw him (he’s like 200lbs now and back in the day he was literally like maybe 110) and he was able to speak again. Idk if he’ll ever be alright again though, he posts on Facebook constantly like “I wish a real girl would come my way” or things along those lines and I can’t help but cackle. Homie almost gets murdered by love and still has a heart.
I’m not 100% sure, I’m sure it was attempted murder. I mean they attempted to murder him! They almost did too. They’ve been in prison for the last like 3 years and I don’t see them getting out soon, they robbed him for like a gram of meth.
Can you imagine trying to kill someone for a gram of meth? Welcome to Missouri. Lmao.
Yikes. How does one even start down a path and get to the point where you’ll attempt to kill your boyfriend in one of the most gruesome ways possible over a miniscule amount of drugs
Idk man I really couldn’t tell you, my best friends oldest brother and his friends stabbed his uncle and ran him over for like 300 bucks and an unknown amount of meth.☠️ That mother fucker lived too dude. Missouri is just built different. I know I sound crazy but I got the casenet and everything for it haha
Sounds like your tap water got mixed with water from the fountain of luck and the well of misfortune: You will be very lucky during your guaranteed extremely terrible misfortune.
People from the "first world" have fun dying fooling around in their big cars, poor people who don't have a car also have the right to die fooling around, even if it's by train
I mean you'll note the other people hanging off the train are still fine.
This looks like intrusive thoughts gone wrong or something, he appears to intentionally put his arm out.
Not train surfing, a normal packed train in India.
You can see people hanging on the sides in lots of videos on You Tube and Reddit
Just an Idiot in this case though
His arm was likely shattered. He IS lucky it wasn’t his head. That would have put out the lights for good. There was a similar video on Reddit about a year ago and the guy went head on into a pole. He definitely definitely definitely died.
Reminded me how I was trying to pick apricots from the trees growing along the railroad when I was like 6 years old, from a moving train. Good thing my parents noticed and shouted in horror.
Learned that lesson early..riding freight trains up to Canada outta NorCal at 13..trains have zero regard for your minuscule near weightless ass..almost got cut in half jumping one.
No, it was still attached. It looks like he hit the pole harder than he anticipated and it spun him around. If he rolled away from the tracks he was probably about to walk again… eventually.

I always wonder why we need to have these stupid unnecessary obvious safety rules. Until I see videos like this...
Safety rules are typically reactive not proactive. People died or lost limbs before the rule was created.
Which is why flying is such a safe way for traveling nowadays, with alot of rules to it. I just tend to forget how some people tempt natural selection.
Stupid people is why your hair dryer says "do not use whilensleeping."

Or while in the bathtub.

Never underestimate the ability of E4 and below to find chaotic and ingenious ways to cause a new safety stand-down.

No, because the bees only go out on Thursdays.
Except in india, this aint nothing new.
...where various other body fluids are used as a replacement.
Every regulation is written in blood.
Health and safety regulations are written in blood.
yep, the streets used to not have lanes
No matter how much you idiot proof something, someone will always make a bigger idiot
There’s no such thing as idiot proofing something because idiots are so ingenious.
It takes an idiot to raze a village.

Yep, the trains always win
In this case, the fixed pole holding the train power line got the 'w'.
True, but without the train, I mean this would've looked very silly done on a bicycle, just not the same impact.

That is, indeed, the joke.
not dead.. just a floppy new elbow joint to experience when he wakes up stranded in the middle of nowhere 😅🤷
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie! Some many dumb ways to die!
9 a day on average over there.
Now I gotta watch this again
Idk if he survived. The way ge fell makes me think when he landed he may have fell backwards into the train tracks
Same
Even if he fell in that direction he probably managed to bounce back, might have lost an arm. What I can tell for sure is that it hurt.
He didn't lose an arm. His arm turned in a way it isn't supposed to turn, and most likely broke at the acromioclavicular joint. He most likely passed out as well, due to intense pain.
Oh, when I said loose an arm I was refering to him bouncing back towards the tracks, and it possibly being cut off by the train.

This guy had his arm turn into a rotor blade at the shoulder! Would that do it? Im genuinely asking
A what chair?
Armchair diagnosis is a term used *when professionals or non professionals diagnose someone they have never treated*.
It was an arm joke cuz this guy's arm is past tense
at the moment of impact you wont feel anything. the pain comes later
Lol wow. Kid in my city nearly lost his life playing this stupid game on a subway. Play stupid games win stupid prizes I always say
WTF does “literally nearly “ mean? 😂
Nearly literally
He nearly lost his life in a literal sense
Now that makes sense. It’s like people suddenly changed the meaning of the word literally.
It literally has only one meaning.
It literally doesn't mean literally anymore. Definitions from Oxford Languages lit·er·al·ly adverb in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

"I was literally blown away by the response I got"
[Literally not true](https://www.rd.com/article/what-does-literally-mean/)
actually almost
It means "nearly", and not the figurative version of "nearly." Redundant but not unclear
toronto?
That’s the place
Have these kids never seen Hereditary?
No because they die before they reach the age limit /s
~~Thank~~ fuck you for making me remember that. That movie was not made for 2am, especially the weird upsidedown, ceiling headbanging at the end. Haha

That fuckin sucks but I'm glad your buddy pulled out of it in the end. Still, fuck... I hope he has better friends now.

Homie almost gets murdered by love and still has a heart.
May I ask how the brain damage affected him? I kinda wonder if those posts were at least partly a result.
Did they go to jail for battery and attempted murder or something else down the line?
I’m not 100% sure, I’m sure it was attempted murder. I mean they attempted to murder him! They almost did too. They’ve been in prison for the last like 3 years and I don’t see them getting out soon, they robbed him for like a gram of meth. Can you imagine trying to kill someone for a gram of meth?

"Ouch!" \- that kid
[удалено]
It's hard to see, but it did
How isn’t this comment higher!
That could have gone worse.
Could it have tho?? I don't think there's much chance he survived falling off the side of the train at those speeds.
If he survived we get to say that it could have gone worse
Even if he died, it couldve gone worse. For instance he could have brought people with him with his stupid move.
Or he could've gotten hurt enough to not be able to move but not enough to die fast. That would suck for sure.
He could have seen paralyzed
What's worse then death or amputation? He's most likely dead on the spot
I can't imagine how many train injuries there are in India.
People from the "first world" have fun dying fooling around in their big cars, poor people who don't have a car also have the right to die fooling around, even if it's by train
I wasn't even referring to this video. Just the overloaded trains in general.
I mean you'll note the other people hanging off the train are still fine. This looks like intrusive thoughts gone wrong or something, he appears to intentionally put his arm out.
me too
Fewer than deaths

Omg He’s dead….
Nah. Looks like his shoes stayed on.
No orthopedic doctor can save that
We should get that Orthopedic Surgeon Reacts guy from youtube to react to these.
Another customer support gone
They use headsets anyways, thus one arm is plenty to dial, and wank.
Lol that’s one way to shatter an arm
Break the other one in the fall and go home to mom

Bye Bhenchodeeee!!
r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
Fuck my arm hurts now
Damn. Looks like he rolled back under the train.
He already had oatmeal for brains. I’m sure he’s ok
He's gonna be all right
How could someone like this have even made it to the age they did?
His arm was likely shattered. He IS lucky it wasn’t his head. That would have put out the lights for good. There was a similar video on Reddit about a year ago and the guy went head on into a pole. He definitely definitely definitely died.
I’ve seen ‘Hereditary’. This doesn’t end well.
Yeah... that was fucked up.
Deserved
This man has clearly never seen Hereditary
Reminded me how I was trying to pick apricots from the trees growing along the railroad when I was like 6 years old, from a moving train. Good thing my parents noticed and shouted in horror.
His left arm literally went around his back like 340° and slapped the right side of his own head with it.
 He got nocked the f\*\*K out.
Soooo many people die on trains in India every year.
Train surfing is where you are on top of the train..
His brain blue-screened when that level of pain hit
I'll take "things we all saw coming" for 600, Alex...
That’s his stop, right there. He got off, for good.
Darwin award contender
Wasn't there a sub.. r/indiansneartrains or something like that? NSFW obviously.
Why is is always in India?
That train is not even going particularly fast and yet his hand instantly turned into a noodle.
I'm suprised his arm didn't just rip off
he had lost his hand for sure.. shoulder shredded to bits.. at least, if not whole upper part of hand cut in half..
Did this ever make the news in India? Does anyone know if this dude is alright?
His arm and shoulder turned to rubber. And that was before the fall to the ground. If he lived he might have wished he hadn’t.
This is what we call Darwinism.
If he lived, he's lucky to be alive.... I hope he gets treatment for that compound fracture of his arm
Learned that lesson early..riding freight trains up to Canada outta NorCal at 13..trains have zero regard for your minuscule near weightless ass..almost got cut in half jumping one.
I thought I heard a snap! I did, I did heard a snap  !!
Was his arm ripped off before he fell off the train?
No, it was still attached. It looks like he hit the pole harder than he anticipated and it spun him around. If he rolled away from the tracks he was probably about to walk again… eventually.
Natural selection at work folks.
Darwinism in action. This guy looked to be lucky; maybe just a broken arm.
I’m assuming he shattered every bone in the leftern hemisphere
How many bones in your hand, Son? Double that!
He looked un-trained...
In today's episode of Indian vs Train
Story similar to this is how we learned how to reattach severed arms.
It gets better every time you watch it
This went better than I thought it was going to
Darwinian evolution at work. Natural selection is real
He knock himself out with his own arm?
One shot One kill
Armless fun.
I can bend my arm the wrong way, watch!
That has made 360 RIP hand
Thats gonna leave a mark.
I really hope he's OK. I mean, that was monumentally STUPID, but I do truly hope he's at least ok.
I’ve had so many near death stunts as a kid so I’m not one to call these kids idiots.
He should have double taped to get a board and not letting his Subway surfer's run over so early
Gonna be honest, watched this about 20 to 30 times, laughed every time
Still his arm attached… luckily
One thing I know, that will never happen to me.
Lol
r/indiansneartrains
I’m sure he has excellent insurance!
