thank youHealth Question & Answer
Answers:
No
A train weighs well in excess of 200 tons.
For the energy it has you multiply mass x velocity.
Keeping it at 40 mph and the weight above the train has a momentum of 3200p
You, standing still have no momentum at all and the kinetic energy involved will simply pulverise your body.
In effect your eyes will vanish from head and limbs will be removed in a fraction of a second while your body takes on the consistency of strawberry jam.
There are some complex mathematical formula to demostrate this effectHealth Question & Answer

Been to many train suicides/accidentsHealth Question & Answer
Yes, I imagine so.
Obviously, the train can hit you at a number of angles and places on your body. It could hit your foot, leg or another limb. It might be that you are struck by the side of the passing train, rather than by an impact on the front.
All of those conditions would be survivable, so there is quite good chance that you would live.
How often do you do this anyway.? Try to leave two attempts out of 10 until you have checked the previous 8.Health Question & Answer

well there is deffinately a 100% chance of something happening, . top gear did an experiment the other year involving a train and the safest car of that year, in which the train hit it and desemated the car completely. i think the train was doiung 60mph, so trake into account how rigidly strong a car is compared to you and work it out for yourself.Health Question & Answer
0 chance unless it just ran over your legs or something- if it hits you sqaure on you are dead for sure and if the impact didn't do it then probably being dragged several miles along the track would finish you of.Health Question & Answer
haha yeah in your dreams
a train hitting and a CAR is the same weight ratio as a car to a soda can. so a train hitting a car is like a car running over a pop can. now think about a person...Health Question & Answer

That advert is a load of old tosh! The 30 limit was brought in long before there was enough data to justify it, it was purely arbitrary. The adverts are now trying to justify the guess work.Health Question & Answer
No. there is an 80% chance you will die (and a 20% chance you will live)Health Question & Answer
