This is utter madness!!!

It takes a lot to shock me, but the stupidity of this is beyond imagination.

He almost gets sucked back in by the vacume created by the passing train. What a fool.

joejoem · 02-02-2005 5:14pm

I sometimes do that with ant stampedes

Doper Than U · 02-02-2005 5:23pm

People like that should be prevented from reproducing. Almost a pity the train missed... I say almost because that is a very traumatic thing to happen to a train driver.

FX Meister · 02-02-2005 5:26pm

It's not just young idiots that do this, many train spotters have come just as close.

Matthewthebig · 02-02-2005 5:34pm

my sentiments exactly!

theCzar · 02-02-2005 5:56pm

What gets my goat is that if the crotch pheasant had been smushed, the railway company probably would have been liable under the protection of retards act, that one where if somebody does something really stupid and gets hurt, it was somebody elses fault for not taking whatever precautions

This may be baseless optimism, but is it faked? two vids spliced? it may be just the video quality but the picture seems a little blurred along a line between the train and the retard.

Rozabeez · 02-02-2005 6:04pm

That makes me feel sick, people I know have been killed by trains, and morons doing that are about as insensitive as a ****ing rapist.

Wow, great comparison, a rapist and a dumb kid. Maybe you know people who have been killed by trains but do you know anyone that's been raped? Cop on

Actually I do know people that have been raped. But that's a little off topic, so let's just drop it.

FX Meister · 02-02-2005 6:40pm

Well then you should know better than to spout rubbish like that. How would they feel if they knew you were comparing the two like that.

*adele* · 02-02-2005 6:41pm

ok,ok i think she gets it so drop it!

You know people that were killed by trains? What were they doing on the tracks?

If that's real then he's very lucky. (and a psycho).

andrew163 · 02-02-2005 11:43pm

It just occurred to me...

God help that poor train driver.... must've given him the shock of his life.. :eek:

trains create vacumes?

Hugh Hefner · 03-02-2005 12:20am

Your moving hand creates a vacume (and a time lapse, but that's another matter).

That was bloody mad. Who the hell would try that? It takes a proper moron/pyscho.

super_furry · 03-02-2005 12:34am

Shame it didn't hit him. One less idiot polluting the gene pool can only be a good thing.

he will probably end up dying from being hit by a bicycle

BlitzKrieg · 03-02-2005 6:22am

hopefully the train driver hunted the kid down and kneecapped the little basterd and then made him do it again.

pickarooney · 03-02-2005 7:42am

Have none of youse ever heard of video editing? It's two clips, filmed from the same mounted camera, one with the guy, one with the train, takes about 4 minutes to edit.

joseph brand · 03-02-2005 8:23am

That idiot probably does this regularly to get 'Chicks'.

He looks well 'Trained'!! Get it? :rolleyes:

pickarooney · 03-02-2005 9:17am

I saw a guy saw a lady in half once. What a bastard.

Have youse even watched the clip? The camera isn't mounted. So it wouldn't take 4 minutes to edit, if you wanted to edit something like that it would take a lot longer.

Trains do create vacumes. I know of a guy in the U.K. who was sucked out from the side of a bridge when a high speed train went past. He lost his arm.

Romo · 03-02-2005 1:43pm

As far as I can tell it's genuine. Both the guy and the train are in the same shot and the camera is handheld not mounted on a tripod. So it would almost be impossible to get a stable edit. To fake something like this is quiet difficult, I think Greenscreen and CGI would be required.

If you look closely the guy jumps clear then sort of judders in mid-air, he's being hit by the displaced air and the vacume created by the train. He could easily have been sucked back in under the train.

Anyway, he still a fool.

All moving objects create vacuums of sorts. Generally the larger the object, and the faster moving the object, the greater the vaccum.

All vehicles create a vacuum most noticeably at the rear (terminating in a turbulent wake), but also at the sides. Large vehicles with big flat fronts, like trucks and trains, displace far more air at the front, leaving a huge vacuum at the back, and also quite significantly along the sides of the vehicle, particularly at high velocities. The faster the vehicle, the bigger the vacuum. Since air will always rush in to fill a vacuum, static objects standing to close to the vacuum can find themselves blown into the vacuum by the air surrounding them.

theCzar · 03-02-2005 2:27pm

i still think it could be faked. it could be done on a tripod and then jitter added?

pickarooney · 03-02-2005 2:37pm

CGI? WTF? It's a very simple 2D effect achievable with any desktop video editing package.
The camera moves for the first bit, then stays steady (slight jitter) for the merged sequences of the train and the jump.

Believe it's for real if you like.

Anyone want to buy The Eiffel Tower, I can let you have it for ten grand.

Lump · 03-02-2005 3:22pm

Jutter added.... I think not.

John

FX Meister · 03-02-2005 3:33pm

It seems pickarooney doesn't really know what he's talking about. If you watch properly you will see that the camera doesn't stay steady for the shots in question. Motion control cameras could be used for something like this but it's seriously doubtful? If it's so easy pickarooney and only takes four minutes then why not make one yourself to show us how easy it is?

pickarooney · 03-02-2005 4:09pm

scene 1: film the train passing
scene 2: film the guy jumping (he doesn't even need to be at the railroad, he can be in his living room)

Cut around the shape of the guy (film him on a distinctive uniform background and use magnetic shape selection), make the background transparent and superimpose him on the scene of the train.

seamus · 03-02-2005 4:17pm

Good work there pickarooney, looks just like the original

While I'm completely in agreement about the simplicity of doing something like this (and the judder/blur makes me suspicious), I'm in no doubt that there are people who do these things, and film them, and put them on the web.

ando · 03-02-2005 7:12pm

you can see his left leg being hit by the train if you look closly

NotMe · 03-02-2005 8:59pm

If his leg was hit by the train he wouldn't be walking away from it.

ando · 03-02-2005 10:22pm

look how fast his left leg moves/accelerates as the train goes by
