    The guy who just stopped on the track and demonstrably slowly walked off just before the train came…

    Just why?1

    Saw the first clip in the video and couldn’t handle watching any more. I’m all for allowing people the autonomy to take their own sensible risks and avoid over safety-fying things, but some people are ridiculous (and selfish in this context). If you’re going to go over a level crossing when the barriers are closed, at least have the respect to run across, knowing that you’re doing something risky, rather than casually stroll through the danger zone!

    Most of the videos were applicable to the title, but there was one where somebody crossed the track and then the train came 20 seconds later. That’s a bit of a stretch.

    1:42 to 1:52… and that video was at 2x speed.

    I personally would feel comfortable with a 20s margin crossing the tracks. Maybe there is a H&S concern of crossing against the light… But it’s not a near miss.
