Remember when you were like four years old, and your parents told you to look both ways for cars before crossing the street?
Well, that same logic applies when “cars” is replaced by “trains,” and instead of crossing the street, you’re jumping down onto the train tracks and trying to cross them like this dipshit in Australia last week:
Australian Man Trying To Cross Tracks Almost Gets Smoked By Train
Authorities said the man was likely an everyday morning commuter and added that even though the train conductor applied the brakes, the man still likely would have been crushed had he not jumped out of the way because the train had been traveling at 55 mph.
Surprisingly, it was the 143rd near-hit on the V/Line network in the last year alone, which means at this point, trying to jump from the platform to cross those tracks would be almost as bad an idea as going bareback with Charlie Sheen.
