Why would you run across train tracks when there is a chance a train is going to come hurtling along at high speeds? This shows a distinct lack of common sense if you ask me.
This 12-year-old Australian boy dashed across the tracks once and got away with it. But then he tried to go back again and got caught between the platform and the train coming into the station. It’s scary to watch so it must have been hell to be involved.
In the end this kid had a lucky escape, suffering nothing more than a broken leg and a broken elbow. Both of which would have been painful enough, but it could clearly have been a lot, lot worse.
The fact this clip has now found its way on to the Internet and been viewed by people all over the world means his pride will also have been hurt, and his reputation damaged amongst his friends. Or maybe the opposite is true.
