Is it normal to want to lie on a train track?

Is it normal to want to lay on a train track under the train as it passes by? I'm a skinny boy, and it looks like the train would clear me by a few inches, but if I'm wrong, I would be brutally killed by a huge metal machine. Not a nice way to go, but my curiosity is just as strong if not stronger than the fear.

Is It Normal?

  • If you're stupid enough to try that, then at least you'll make an interesting news story when you die because of it.

  • Yeah... Don't do it! You will be hit by many tons of steel, traveling moderately fast.
    If you want to know how it looks to have a train pass over you, watch a video on youtube. People put gopros on train tracks, to record passing trains. Or find a low bridge. Something that crosses over a small ditch, or shallow river. Get under that. It's safe and you will watch a train go over you.

  • There are other possibilities aside from succeeding or being brutally killed. Such as being painfully (but non-lethally) smacked in the head by every axle going past, or forcing the train to stop and getting arrested.

    I do understand wondering whether you could do this, but trying it out is a very poor idea for several reasons.

  • I think it's absolutely normal, for a moron. Please, let us know if you ARE "brutally killed by a huge metal machine" or not.
    Thanks.

  • Well, if you want to commit suicide it'd be a pretty interesting way I guess. Don't do it if you wanna live though.

  • It's foolish to think you'd survive something so idiotic. Try wondering about something else more important.

  • Oh, I think about walking the tracks all the time.
