"The selfie" takes another victim... This was shot in the south of Brazil.


love2go

If only there had been a warning.


Phage0070

You never know. I heard of a guy doing laundry in his basement when he was nearly hit by a freight train. No way of predicting where they might strike next.


hey2245

That's why we need to ban trains. They're so dangerous.


Phage0070

You can't say that, everyone is all up in arms about "trains rights" these days.


GordonGartrelle2020

Is this train an it or a they?


Fskn

Worse.. it's a Union Pacific northern 844


GordonGartrelle2020

Dude you can't just say that! How do you know? Did you ask it?


Fuggeddabouddit

Only assault trains. Those are the dangerous ones.


jamieliddellthepoet

He didn’t *have* to extend his basement out to the railway.


motorhead84

If you look hard enough just before it hits her, you can almost see a huge train coming and blaring the loudest horn ever,


SenseStraight5119

Damn I had to go back and watch to catch it.


Tervaaja

Wise man thinks that it is not a good idea to stand front of coming train.


electricianer250

Something needs to be done about these trains. So unpredictable


cagingnicolas

"go around!"


Felipevelloso

The womam whos was struck by the train is screaming: "lay me down, lay me down, it hitted me, it hitted me"


erbush1988

"It hitted me" translates to: I stood in the way of a train


FragrantExcitement

Was the train driver watching where it was going? It didn't even attempt to swerve. /s


jayvil

Trains are one of the most unpredictable forms of transportation out there. Beware, it might be lurking in your backyard right now. Waiting to run you over.


davybert

Whenever you see train tracks beware. If the tracks are fresh that means a train just passed recently. They can come back, often following their tracks. You really never know when one is gonna pop out of nowhere and run you over


smoke4sanity

Also, very silent. You won't hear it coming until its too late.

Holy shit! Didn't know this movie existed.

SHARE THE TRACKS!!!


Cut-OutWitch

Reminding me of one of the best feats attributed to the Most Interesting Man in the World: *> "He once parallel parked a train."*


cruebob

I worked as a locomotive operator and parallel parked a train on numerous occasions.


FinePolyesterSlacks

Forever my favorite line from those ads.


I_HATE_REDDIT_ALWAYS

Nor did he try to stop in time wtf!


s00perguy

Like the trifling types who have the gall to say someone you rear ended was at fault, their mistake never enters the equation of blame.


makenzie71

If a moving train comes into contact with anything you are in control of, you did not get hit by a train. You ran into a train. A train is the only thing you can run into while standing coming ~~idiot~~ still.


Teehus

Unless it derailed, etc. unlikely but possible otherwise I agree

vulture_87

Train: "I'm going forward in the tracks like this. If you get hit, it's your own fault."


jamieliddellthepoet

Portuguese is such a succinct language. Nice work.


knowone1313

If only there was some way of avoiding getting hit by trains... Darwinism is really trying to right the world.


DeadSwaggerStorage

Lay me down, like a train over troubled water I will lay me down….


DaanoneNL

You mean "it hittetteded me"?

bakerzero86

There was a video from India where people were doing this, one woman got hit right in the head like this but no helmet. She....did not make it.


Ceu_64

Isn't in Itaúna, MG?


Scoozie_Q

How God damn stupid do you have to be to stand in front of a train.


ActivelyShittingAss

Well, in those very rare cases where you have some indication of where the train may be, yes, absolutely, very stupid. But in the vast majority of cases, you have *no idea at all* where and when a train will strike. There is no reliable "warning" suggesting a train strike may be imminent: it can happen anywhere, and it can happen to you or your loved ones.


BurnTheOrange

They stalk the wilds so silently and don't keep to any one environment for long


time2fly2124

*And here we find the wild CSX local daily freight, in it's natural habitat, stalking its prey. A group of human selfie seekers attempts to capture one of nature's most breathtaking  animals, the EMD SD40-2. The human, unaware of the danger the animal poses, sticks it's head in it's path, and without any warning whatsoever, the locomotive strikes the human, causing it to be concussed. Fortunately, the human was wearing a helmet, and everything was alright.*


BurnTheOrange

Well, if some asshole hadn't been blasting a horn, the woman might have been able to hear the approaching train, but the sound overwhelmed her perception and she didn't realize the approaching danger


Sooz48

I heard it in David Attenbrough's voice.


militaryintelligence

Their territory is marked, if you know the signs


AtheistAustralis

I heard that they've learned to climb trees, and can now strike from above as well. They're evolving!


gargeug

[This video of that one train stalking their prey still keeps me up at night when I go camping](https://youtu.be/MjbUnn32_zU?feature=shared&t=89)


pablank

"A solitary killer, the train stalks its prey for days, until finally going in for the kill. It can consume up to 6 times it's bodyweight. While it feasts, the helicopters and ambulances will wait for the scraps. Next time, we'll have take a closer look at how they breed"


SoySauceSyringe

Trains are really unpredictable. Even in the middle of a forest two rails can appear out of nowhere, and a 1.5-mile fully loaded coal drag, heading east out of the low-sulfur mines of the PRB, will be right on your ass the next moment. I was doing laundry in my basement, and I tripped over a metal bar that wasn't there the moment before. I looked down: "Rail? WTF?" and then I saw concrete sleepers underneath and heard the rumbling. Deafening railroad horn. I dumped my wife's pants, unfolded, and dove behind the water heater. It was a double-stacked Z train, headed east towards the fast single track of the BNSF Emporia Sub (Flint Hills). Majestic as hell: 75 mph, 6 units, distributed power: 4 ES44DC's pulling, and 2 Dash-9's pushing, all in run 8. Whole house smelled like diesel for a couple of hours! Fact is, there is no way to discern which path a train will take, so you really have to be watchful. If only there were some way of knowing the routes trains travel; maybe some sort of marks on the ground, like twin iron bars running along the paths trains take. You could look for trains when you encounter the iron bars on the ground, and avoid these sorts of collisions. But such a measure would be extremely expensive. And how would one enforce a rule keeping the trains on those paths? A big hole in homeland security is railway engineer screening and hijacking prevention. There is nothing to stop a rogue engineer, or an ISIS terrorist, from driving a train into the Pentagon, the White House or the Statue of Liberty, and our government has done fuck-all to prevent it.


Xenothing

Can’t wait to see this pop up on Google ai


marilyn_morose

Pasta salad for the summer!


darkslide3000

This is disgusting slander perpetrated by the car lobby! The vast majority of trains are very kind, loving and considerate creatures that take great care to avoid injuring people that interact with them. Videos like this that show a single, very unusual (possibly rabid) train acting so out of character always get reposted all over the internet to try to scare us away from sharing nature with these beautiful, gentle giants.


nokiacrusher

Fucking ninja trains get me every time


SiliconOrganism

There was a sign saying that trespassers will be fine


The_Stoic_One

There is no way to even know which way a train will go if you are lucky enough to spot it.


m477_

There are people out there that believe the width of the train is equal to the width of the tracks. They think they're safe because they aren't inside the pair of rails.


dolphinitely

they really sneak up outta nowhere 😔


TheJix

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.


decayo

Absolute idiot. Hopefully she leaves that thing on even when she isn't biking. Meanwhile, almost dying for a stupid picture of a train that has your head in front of it is idiotic on a whole other level. I can find pictures of trains any time I want and I would never think "boy, I wish my head was superimposed over the corner of that one".


sevargmas

If you watch that frame by frame, it doesn’t just clip her, it hits her entire head and gets her neck and shoulder to the middle of her back. Honestly, a few inches more and it probably hits her forward instead of off to the side.


garface239

There was a Mexican lady that did the same thing she wasn’t wearing a helmet. She did get to see the selfie.


RaidensReturn

She did *not* get to see it? Or she did get to see it?


PracticalRich2747

She did not, I believe. I'm not sure if she died, but her husband did have a fluid/substance on his hands after he touched her head (blood or pieces of brain, I guess)


ActivelyShittingAss

Yeah, as unbelievable as it might seem since the train only hit the back of her skull, she died instantly. The guy picking her up was somewhat surprised to find she was drenched in cerebrospinal fluid.


copa111

Yeah I saw that. She didn’t make it.


GildDigger

She died.


mi_nombre_es_ricardo

Just saw the news today. Crazy


GardenGnomeOfEden

My toes reflexively curled and I said "Idiot!" when the train hit her. Ugh.

TheDanecdote

This is the second video I saw today, of someone being hit in the head, by a train, while taking a selfie. That’s 2 too many


Salmon_Slap

Literally just scrolled from that post 30 seconds ago.


NWHipHop

Algo bros


_M3SS

If I had a dollar for every video of a train hitting a girl in head that I've watched today, I'd had two dollars, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.


Scoddy69

There are tons of these. I’ve seen at least five more, all from India.


No-Spoilers

Not really. One gets posted gets big, someone else has a different one and posts it hoping for the same.


G33nid33

No, I would apprediate if everyone who want a selfie of themselves in front of a moving train goes out right now to take that picture. Let's call it "selfie day". It would be a boon for education, We'd have to make IQ test more difficult. Think of the enviroment!


Unlucky_Me_

I was just thinking how fucking common is this after seeing 2 in one day


Plus-Barber-6171

In her defence how is she meant to hear the train over the trains loud horn?


myhairyassiniboine

I worked for CN, it's in the rule book that when someone is about to get fuckin hit, you have to use the horn in the hopes they have a clue to look and get out of the way. When there are trains in the siding, this often leads to confusion on pedestrians and vehicles part... because they're duuuuuumb! Tough lesson to learn, glad she had a bucket on her head!

Honorable mention.


BIZARRE_TOWN

People seem to forget how trains are wider than the train tracks.


temujin64

There are some people who misunderstand this to the extreme. I've seen videos of Indian guys standing right next to the rail, back facing the train and then their entire head explodes when the train hits them. It's like they've never seen a train before.


gunsandpuppies

She might still die… That’s an unfathomable amount of force that just launched her from the back of her skull… I’m not a doctor but that’s not good for you.


C_M_O_TDibbler

I think you need a brain to receive brain damage


andraip

The amount of force is actually not that high. The train can only apply as much force as her head/body can resist. It will be the same as if a car driving the speed of the train had hit her on the head.


spareminuteforworms

Plate steel has a different ring to it than whatever thin metal or plastic car bodies are made from.


DeoxysSpeedForm

Would it actually be the exact same? From impluse momentum yeah force is independent from the mass of the train but it is dependent on the speed of her head after the impact. Wouldn't the higher momentum of the train make her head move somewhat faster or am i trolling.


invaderdan

In the first few seconds you can see her turn around and look at the train coming towards her. She saw it, and then turned her back on it, as it was coming towards her. She turned her back on it. The train coming towards her. She turned. Her back. On the train coming towards her. AFTER LOOKING RIGHT AT IT.


splashbodge

She was taking a sico selfie, gotta make sure the train is in shot dude!


work_while_bent

fucking idiot


AliJDB

Do they look down at the tracks and assume the train won't extend beyond them? Like they're some kind of forcefield? I'd just love to know what goes through their mind.


Medic7802

Damn how dumb is she?!?


never_again_this_mes

Whatever that answer was she is slightly dumber now


icepick314

Giving credit where it's due, she is wearing a helmet at least. But after this, if she survived, she need to keep it on 24/7.


eddyizm

Maybe that will knock some sense into her and her friends. Hear/see a train, get the fuck out of the way, not closer.


RaidensReturn

Dude, that poor conductor, too. They were sounding the damn horn repeatedly to warn them. He was probably saying “get the fuck out of the way you idiots”


sirbassist83

no, they were sounding the horn to mask the noise of the incoming train. train conductors are vicious hunters that will use every dirty trick in the book.


YouthPrestigious9955

Idiot


free_will_is_arson

maybe saved her life, but im guessing she's still getting colouring books for birthdays and christmas.


spider0804

Lots of videos like this with trains going faster with a lot more gore...especially out of India for one reason or another. She probably has some serious damage despite the helmet. Getting yeeted by your neck is never good.

jxj24

If you absolutely have to document every single tiny detail of your life, and you are stupid enough to fuck around near train tracks, the very *least* you can do is OPEN YOUR FUCKING EARS AND FACE THE FUCKING TRAIN.


weirdal1968

I regularly see people - often university students - walking on train tracks wearing headphones oblivious to everything but their tiny bubble of reality. Here in the USA being within 10 feet of the track is usually considered trespassing unless it is a grade crossing. Example of the stupidity in my city https://www.reddit.com/r/railroading/s/nME0f24NJY Edit - this afternoon WSOR 3928 was crossing a lake trestle and hit a woman throwing her into the water. She has life threatening injuries. I'd bet money she was wearing headphones. https://www.channel3000.com/news/woman-struck-by-train-found-unresponsive-in-lake/article_b4a21d9a-244f-11ef-98ad-f371e1f62438.html


ptolani

>OPEN YOUR FUCKING EARS AND FACE THE FUCKING TRAIN. That wouldn't get the shot she was trying to get. Ears weren't the problem. She just totally misjudged the speed and distance.

If only there was a way not to get hit by a train while taking selfies 🤔🤔

KsatriaBebek

Too many indian Train video we need moar western train video like this lmao


Mistersinister1

For fucking real. A friend I grew up with and am still close friends with had a run in with a train all because another, stupid asshole friend decided he wanted to play chicken with while he was drunk, just to impress a girl. My friend kept pleading with him to stop because it wasn't a freight it was a high speed passenger train. He managed to grab him at the very last second, saved him but lost his arm and part of his foot and nearly died. Don't fuck with trains, people it won't even slow them down at all. Even at this speed it can kill you.

Must have been a hellava selfie to be honest.


[deleted]

I don't get the recent videos that are almost identical of people getting clocked by trains. Are people really this stupid? How do you have so little awareness that you don't see a big ass metal thing coming? How do you have so little awareness you get anywhere near that close to a moving train in the first place?


poopshipdestroyer

If the translation isn’t ‘he saw me there! That sonofabitch veered to hit me on purpose’ or ‘‘Lois, I told you to say ‘move’ when it was getting close, you did that on purpose’’I’m a monkeys uncle


RB_Photo

You know how sometimes you'll be walking and pass a tree with a branch hanging over the sidewalk and sort of hunch down as you pass even though you know you won't really hit it, but do it instinctively. I don't think these people getting hit by trains do that.


vauss88

Never, ever, underestimate the power of human stupidity.


happylifevr

The lady in Mexico was doing the exact same thing but didn’t walk away


CoverYourMaskHoles

Why do people not respect the power of trains? They are beasts it’s the land version of a container ship. They win against any vehicle in their way. Do not get near these things.
