In most other subyway systems this would be pretty safe in that the third rail is most offen guarded with a kind of protection over it or power comes from an overhead wire. But for the tube this was a pretty dangerous move. One slip and this would be a video on some sub reddit.

[@vighdavid9495]

Not really, this tube line runs on DC power, so if you just touch one rail you will be fine. You can only be injured if you accidentally touch both power rails, which is quite unlikely.

Stopping the bullet train for 40 minutes is a big problem and tens of thousands of passengers are affected by it, but they still prioritized safety, called in specialized workers, cut the power, and solved trouble according to safety manual. I'll not saying "his way is wrong", but to me that subway worker's action looked so scary. He should be more protective of himself.

I worked on one of the UK's railways and removing articles from the track is absolutely saturated with bylaws and regulations. You need a license to be able to remove stuff from the tracks, and you need get the line blocked. It would be so easy to just get a litterpicker and pick it up, but if you do that, say bye to your job. The guy in the cab likely had a PTS license so he can go down on the tracks and perform duties, I assume the driver would have called the signaller to confirm what they were doing just in case, just an unusual way of getting it done.
