If you look closely at the footage, the chap in question is clearly staggering backwards towards the edge of the platform, then he falls over backwards onto the track:eek:all im gonna say is that he's bloody lucky that there were other people there to help him.what an idiot!:mad:

He would have to be touching both the central and far outer rail at the same time in the fall to be electrocuted on the London underground, something very difficult to do unless intentional.
