a foot further forward and they'd be really badly injured, another foot and they'd be dead. So lucky it was just a glancing blow that spun the car. a bit further in and it would be a disaster.
When this happens is the train obliged to stop? And 100s or 1000s of people on this train and others behind it have their trips ruined because of idiots. Also where's the barrier?
Yes. Any time there’s a collision, especially with a vehicle, a train must stop.
And the barrier is likely down behind the car, and that’s probably why they didn’t back up more than they did. A mix of afraid of breaking the gate and not realizing they’re meant to break off easily, not wanting to damage their car by backing into the gate more, and probably also not realizing that trains are much wider than the tracks they run on since cars aren’t much wider than their tires.
Idiots
Ahh, that explains it.
Lucky she's not dead!
Won't be long...
They see the train coming, so nudge forward a little bit more 🤔
Well how else do you get the ultimate hit and spin
She probably tried to put it in reverse and failed
Am I missing something? They moved back not forward.

I think we just saw proof that you CAN park on the tracks. At least for a while.
Would people on the train have felt the impact?
No.
Yes.
But not as much as the people in the car!
A train I was on hit a pedestrian at 100km/h. I felt the impact through the floor. The car has way more mass than a human.
Dumb ways to die
day?

I find it incomprehensible that the default in America, even on high speed track, is level crossings.
Stalled?
