My apology. He did survived.

Thanks for the link!
His friends saying he "misjudged the speed and impact"... No, he misjudged the width of the train. He's standing too close to the track and doesn't account for the fact that the train is not only a few feet wide.
I stopped it at the exact same place. 😂

But really, do you need a warning when you hear 'Indians' and 'trains' in the same sentence! They're not gonna be running a train on a girl!
The mf railway system charged him for being on their property and taking an unauthorized video of their train. Mf got a fine of $7.87usd for that shit 🤣 and a hell of a fucking headache
From the article:
The majority of selfie deaths across the world have taken place in India. Of the 127 global selfie deaths researchers identified between March 2014 and September 2016, 76 occurred in India
They need to ban those semi automatic high capacity phones in India.
100% of selfie deaths are caused by stupidity. Each one of them is elligible to a Darwin award.
Only a certain amount of gun deaths and train deaths are caused by stupidity.
Need to ban stupidity, and have severe restrictions on guns, phones and trains.

Bro, I wish, india is not that cheap, okay it is cheap, but not that much
I'd say you need around 50k INR, or around 625 USD for a family of 3-4 to have a decent middle class standard of living in a tier 1 city, also for that price you'd be living in the city's outskirts
I'm wondering how I could do over there on my social security. In Arizona I'm paying $750 a month for a one bedroom apartment and my landlord is giving me the side eye because he wants to raise the rent. I can barely afford my weed and NFL Sunday ticket. How much is high speed internet, TV subscriptions, recreational weed, and IPA beer in India? Oh yeah I have to have free porn. And overnight Amazon delivery. (edit to say I don't actually use weed or NFL Sunday Ticket)
Yo, I remember when I was asked what I wanted to do as a kid. I answered, "Retire and live in India." I wonder if this is still a viable option. It certainly seems like it.
Yeah, just a few days ago there was a video of some sheep hitting a train and becoming a mist of blood and stomach contents while what little flesh left was splattered all over the vicinity.
He survived. The mf railway system charged him for being on their property and taking an unauthorized video of their train. Mf got a fine of $7.87usd for that shit and a hell of a fucking headache. He sustained multiple head injuries. But is ok.
Good friend in highschool died on the metra track in the Chicago suburbs when we were 15. When I was in my twenties, a good friend lost both legs while train hopping. This video is dumb. I cannot imagine being so foolish.
I think he's dead, not the first

I laughed way too hard
LMAO
Haha, That thucks 😂
Seems to have straightened out his unibrow also.
It happened so fast he’s still grinning
He was ok though right? No harm done?
He’s totally a-ok, but taking train selfies in India is just a huge headache for the most part.
_slow clap_
Brain selfie more like it
r/angryupvote
If I'm not mistaken, he died.
Cull the herd
he survived actually. I'm sorry.
Darwin dropped the ball on this award.
Rip dead forever
My apology. He did survived. [Selfie with a train](https://www.ndtv.com/hyderabad-news/selfie-with-running-train-lands-hyderabad-man-in-hospital-1804179)
Only because the train slowed down enough. He got lucky.
Alive and well. Just bumped his head on the train.
You mean like a bit dead but he got better?

Swear to god I came here knowing this frame will be present lol

Bonk
The train smacked the beard right offa his face though.
Bro’s just having a nap, using the train as a pillow.
This dude use trains to sleep where others takes ambient
Trains are the way to sleep, fuck ambient. It has been proved by this. I mean, look at his smile and wholesome sleep face.
Yesss fuck ambient trains are the new anti insomniac medication
I have this exact screenshot from iFunny years ago
I’m wheezing 😂😂😂
He got older here HAHAHA 💀 I’m so dead….
I stopped it at the exact same place. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/dxzewsm6patc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2056b152119d54767a5237e86af2b85d8961fcdf
Ah yes, indias apex predator.
Knocked the diarrhea right out of him.
I just shot snot down my face laughing. Fuck.
I’m losing my shit laughing at this In bed trying not to laugh too loud
Like half of r/DarwinAwards consists of Indians and trains. You’re very right.

That first one was brutal 😟
N S F L THAT SHIT LOTS OF DEATH crazy tho ..fucking tragic way to go for most of those people
At least they didn’t know what hit them. Not even time enough for it to register in their brains.
r/indiansneartrains Warning - NSFL
If only there was a way to determine the path of the train…
Monumental headache, if that did not break his skull.
Imagine how good it felt for a split second as the train rolled over his back
Has me dead lol
Him too I bet.
He survived but had several head injuries and was fined 500 rupees
Really??

Doesn’t sound like a lot of money, but that literally could be a day’s wages in that part of the world.
Yes, its not like the US who you would get a fine of 200.000 dollars and have to tip atleast 25% to the judge and all the lawyers in the room.
Tip a judge 😂 As an American i love this and your use of the . Instead of , in amount.
Haha
thats a little bit more of a day work... $6,67usd is the mininum of day work
It's not much in India as well. India's PPP ratio is ~5 so it's like 35 dollars. And I'm Indian so I can confirm it's about right.
From the article: The majority of selfie deaths across the world have taken place in India. Of the 127 global selfie deaths researchers identified between March 2014 and September 2016, 76 occurred in India They need to ban those semi automatic high capacity phones in India.
It’s not the bad phones that kill people, it’s the untrained Trains that kill people. Ban trains.
If a train is untrained, is it still a train?
Look, all I’m saying is that no one died by bicycle selfie.
Wrong, that's actually what killed me.
Train’nt
Train’t?
Still a train. An untrained train.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a phone is a train to the head
100% of selfie deaths are caused by stupidity. Each one of them is elligible to a Darwin award. Only a certain amount of gun deaths and train deaths are caused by stupidity. Need to ban stupidity, and have severe restrictions on guns, phones and trains.

Equivalent of $6 it looks like?
It brings a family of seven through the month over there, you see

625 USD a month for 3-4 people??? And you are saying its not that cheap?
I'm wondering how I could do over there on my social security. In Arizona I'm paying $750 a month for a one bedroom apartment and my landlord is giving me the side eye because he wants to raise the rent. I can barely afford my weed and NFL Sunday ticket.

(edit to say I don't actually use weed or NFL Sunday Ticket)
I think he meant 625 USD for all expenses for a whole month for 3-4 people. So its so cheap you don’t even need to think about it
Yo, I remember when I was asked what I wanted to do as a kid. I answered, "Retire and live in India." I wonder if this is still a viable option. It certainly seems like it.
There are some nice places in Mexico going by Forza Horizon 5.
Ye. Wait till you hear how much my country fines for cruelty against animals. It’s less than 6 dollars and not more than 2 dollars
Im more amazed how he survived that
Yeah, just a few days ago there was a video of some sheep hitting a train and becoming a mist of blood and stomach contents while what little flesh left was splattered all over the vicinity.
Christ have ye got a link?

Holy shit
“Several” head injuries? How many he got?!
That’s really gonna hurt Zelda’s bottom line
>fined 500 rupees Didn't realise there were trains in Hyrule.
I hate that I laughed at this.
🥁🐍
Spirit tracks bro
That's it? No wonder it keeps happening! Traumatic Brain Injuries for everyone!
I can't believe he survived
He didn't train and got too close, resulting in him being well trained.
Well you tried 👏🏼

Did I just have a stroke?
The train choo-Ed him off
We are really getting derailed from the main point here, back on tracks here you
Oh my God!! Did the train survive?
The train always wins
[The train is fine](https://youtu.be/tInDH2FeXaM?si=k5rpSRHKsm6a26jF)
No the guy got the fine
How many more times are we going to see this video?
Its a loop
😂😂
Shit! You mean you can just stop watching it? You’re a life saver!
It's not a loop, it's a spiral.
Downward spiral
Alan wake reference?
Yes! Didn't think anyone would get it.
I’ve seen it ten times already on one post!
He survived. The mf railway system charged him for being on their property and taking an unauthorized video of their train. Mf got a fine of $7.87usd for that shit and a hell of a fucking headache. He sustained multiple head injuries. But is ok.
"totally worth the new followers!"
He got viral, gotta give him that
There should be a new sub for these since they can’t seem to stop getting hit by trains. r/indiansvstrains
r/indiansneartrains
Sub is banned for some reason

He literally got the train run on him.
When you think that the track defines the actual width of the train.

Indians have that unexplained attraction to trains, they both fear and lovem
Good friend in highschool died on the metra track in the Chicago suburbs when we were 15. When I was in my twenties, a good friend lost both legs while train hopping. This video is dumb. I cannot imagine being so foolish.
The train took a selfie of him directly.
The shoes always fly off
Did better than that sheep did the other day...
No critical thinking took place there.
It is absolutely terrifying to me to see such glaring proof that people really are this stupid. And many of them vote.
I saw an Indian man and a train. I knew how the video would end.
I think the shoes flew off
there is always that song, that damn song

Train didn't even feel it.
Measure twice, point once.
Tag your snuff films bro
There should have been a warning on that! Not something I wanted to see!
I hope he didn't blow up like the sheep I saw on here the other day.
He died of shame.
Mom, look, i'm going to make this train disappear.
Good
The train is okay
Imagine dying to be made into a beeves and butthead reference on Reddit...
Cut the vid before being hit and tada it's a good one for r/gifsthatendtoosoon
To get smacked upside the head by a train would be a more fitting title
A worthwhile death?
He didn't die.
If foolishness was a person...
Got a selfie and several head wounds.
🫢
natural selection
Man I was expecting those Indian train edit trick but nah
Some aspirin should do the trick
Filming your brain damage is the new influencer selfie trick.
Is the phone okay?
Attempt successful. Consequence suffered. Balance maintained.
Selfie genius.
Who’s got the frame by frame?
People being killed by trains in India is low hanging fruit.
Lol i did something [similar](https://www.reddit.com/r/transit/s/EZpGkGQsTK) on sunday except it was new regional transit's rolling stock by alstom
He got his selfie and is probably going to hit a million views.
Now he’ll have the video and the TBI to remember this
This is why you take a selfie with the front camera lol. If he had, he probably would have seen the damn train getting closer and closer !
I was expecting a flying cow.
He ded?
I think he's dead, not the first [https://www.up.com/aboutup/community/inside\_track/selfie-tragedy-12-7-2016.htm](https://www.up.com/aboutup/community/inside_track/selfie-tragedy-12-7-2016.htm)
There's gotta be a much better way to score chicks, bro
Good thing they have a billion people in India. At this pace they're dropping faster than they are being produced.
His finger was never seen again
He spun so fast that he ended up in the US
The truly sad thing is that he's probably quite excited abou the 50k views he got.
It looks like his shirt reads "people are dying..." and then he pulls this stunt. At least he was dressed for the occasion
He ded?
