I've seen people (young like me ...or younger) cross over the damned third rail ...what a stupid risk to put yourself through. Instead of using the damn bridge. This was at Chiswick. One guy who was about to miss his train was smart enough to find a gapped section near the platform. Still a risky thing to do , but the first example was just an utter disregard for life. If the third rail was amped up like a 25kv cable she'd be dead even without touching the actual rail or cable

[@sianwickenden8692]

People do it all the time

[@harrytilbury2453]

@@bb-3653 Voltage may be less with 3rd rail but generally what makes a difference is that 3rd rail is Direct Current(DC) so when you touch it you effectively get glued to it per say and can't get yourself off Where as with 25kv OHLE which is Alternating Current(AC) You will just get thrown off if you touch it hence why it's voltage is higher but in reality it's less dangerous being AC & not DC

[@bb-3653]

@Harry Tilbury hmm interesting why does it glue you to the track ,i.w hard to get people off? I assume grabbing it is not an option to avoid when all that electric is running through you aye? Also I'd still think 25kv running through you has a likely chance of doing life threatening damage but I get what you are saying, I feel like you'd probably have an exploded hole in your chest cavity or something, if this was on third rail.(maybe that's overkill)

As a train driver myself I unfortunately see this all too often especially when there is a level crossing just after or before a station. Some pedestrians decided to jump the barrier even though there are stairs they could walk up and over and simply run across especially if its your train they want to get on. They never think that there could be a fast train or freight train passing through that doesn't call at that station which will hit them.

Sadly, when people are hit by trains it's the drivers and those that clean up (yes someone has to pick the bits up - that's the reality) that carry the true cost. The bit that gets me however is that too often the family of the person involved then blame the railway and do so publicly, even though the person circumvented the safety systems put in place. I contrast it to Switzerland where miles of track is unfenced, has trains running at 50mph+ on it, and common sense is expected of the public, in the same way it's expected of the public next to road.

It's very odd you brought guns into it however, but just to be clear: Switzerland has more guns than many nations (firearms provided by the state) and yet has a low gun death rate. People in Switzerland respect things, and others, and that's why it works as a nation.
