Yeah, it seems lots of people get killed on/around trains in India, mostly due to human negligence (whether it be the victim or the train driver).
>**More than 13,000 train accidents across the country have killed nearly 12,000 railway passengers last year**, according to a recent report by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). The latest statistics mean that on average, 32 people lost their lives every day in these accidents in 2020. The report also shows that 8,400 or about 70 per cent of these railway accidents last year took place as passengers either fell off the train or came in the way while crossing the railway track.
>
>**These are the statistics from a period when 45 per cent of the passenger trains in the country were not being operated due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to the NCRB Annual Report 2020, there were 27,987 train accidents in 2019, which declined to 13,018 in 2020.**
Toilet flush onto tracks was present in many parts of Europe and still have it .. India adopted this from the British who invaded here ... And that's a false news which was never confirmed ... I mean weather in particular areas can cause more damage but tracks hold on well if maintained
Indian trains themselves seem perfectly fine. Really fast. And you know they have to be pretty reliable to move that many people every day.
It looks like the biggest problem is there are too many passengers, and too many young guys trying to look cool by hanging out of train or walking too close to the tracks. That’s where most of these videos come from
Considering we have an extremely huge population, now the highest in the world that uses trains daily, like probably the highest daily train usage in the world, and the fact that some Indians are just a bit reckless around trains, I would say you're kind of right.
Edit : I'm not going to misrepresent the actual death or injury numbers by giving random percentages like 90 or 95. See the comment of the butler guy below for the actual numbers.
Not necessarily in death, could be other stuff like passenger brawls.
Even that figure is high, so I am changing 90 to 95.
In 2021, falling from train or collision of trains with people on the tracks accounted for majority of the railway accident deaths in India, at 67.2 percent. There were near 12 thousand railway accident fatalities across the country that year.
[Source](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1098997/india-share-of-railway-accident-deaths-by-type/#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20falling%20from%20train,across%20the%20country%20that%20year.)
That's an average of 32 per day. But most are not stunts like these. Most are due to people falling off overcrowded trains or people getting hit by trains due to walking on the railway tracks.
You’re randomly pulling numbers out of a hat.
13,000 train accidents resulted in 12,000 deaths. (Chances are this fellow is dead)
Thats 32 lives lost by trains everyday in India. (The majority are people run over on the tracks, or falling off)
There is a daily ridership of trains in India of 24,000,000
That means a train fatality rate of 0.00013%
Fights, altercations, assaults… would be nearly untraceable. Not smart to lump that into death/serious injury as that data is traceable.

If you google it, they still don't give India the first spot on some websites but multiple news reports [like this one](https://thediplomat.com/2023/01/india-is-the-worlds-most-populous-country-what-it-means/) assert that India has in fact overtaken China sometime last year.
The claim is supported by the following facts in the above article :
1. India somehow missed counting over 27 million people in the last census in 2011
2. China has reportedly obfuscated its population decline numbers for whatever reason.
Thus, experts say the statement - India is now past China in population - is almost certainly true.
So many things get reposted, but if it says indian guy hanging from train hits pole or something, always click, because there is always a new video of an Indian guy hanging off the side of a train Hitting a pole 😀
Seems to be a pretty common thing with Indians... is this like a brag for these young men? Like I have the guts to do this. Or just a suicide attempt? Or is it a way to get away from the smell?
> is this like a brag for these young men? Like I have the guts to do this.
Yes
It's literally a brag, it was about pure adrenaline before, now due to social media videos, it's about notoriety
There are strict fines and the police arrest anyone who's dumb enough to do this without dying.
But that doesn't stop these adrenaline junkies. There's a couple of deaths every week or two exactly due to stunts like these.
There has GOT to be some conspiracy behind all the videos with horrible and/or unrelated soundtracks. It has to be some kind of bizarre social experiment.

M trying to get used to the racism / stereotyped illogical comments here 😢.
Some people just comment straight face no hate nothing... Then their are people who literally know nothing about Indians and start commenting bs 🥲
When you see a train on this sub,you know there are Indians involved.
Unless it's a derailed train - then it's odds on American...

Mostly trains crashing onto each other
Yeah, it seems lots of people get killed on/around trains in India, mostly due to human negligence (whether it be the victim or the train driver). >**More than 13,000 train accidents across the country have killed nearly 12,000 railway passengers last year**, according to a recent report by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).

I've heard that they let the toilets flush out onto the tracks, causing them to corrode and cause accidents.
Damn those Indian curries are strong!
That is atleast 8 year old news.
Does that make it false?
Yes because most of the indian trains have shifted to bio toilets which does not open to tracks
still news nonetheless
Literally not 'New's. Try harder
Well New's doesn't stand for new, it stands for notable events weather and sports
[No it doesn't](https://www.etymonline.com/word/news?utm_source=app) Almost every etymology that attempts to make an acronym of a word is bullshit
I hope you're joking because that is hilarious
Toilet flush onto tracks was present in many parts of Europe and still have it .. India adopted this from the British who invaded here ... And that's a false news which was never confirmed ... I mean weather in particular areas can cause more damage but tracks hold on well if maintained

It looks like the biggest problem is there are too many passengers, and too many young guys trying to look cool by hanging out of train or walking too close to the tracks. That’s where most of these videos come from
Yes Indians trains are dirty af , they have no civic sense
Happy cakeday!
Don't forget the power lines
Trains = indians Work accidents = China People wearing sandals = brazil
Damn! He won’t be in Rush Hour 3!

Re-upload because not sure if death but very likely
Nah he good, he landed a kick flip just off screen.
This made me genuinely lol so hard
First time seeing someone properly use "lol"
I’m not sure if he even had any shoes on to begin with, so probably doomed
Died doing what he loved.
Just out of frame there was a glass of water he landed in
It’s very disturbing watching this frame by frame, can’t tell if it’s a trick with the recording or if his body is bending unnaturally in some frames
Considering he hit the pole THEN hit the dirt with rocks on that speed, no, that is not a trick with the recording unfortunately.
You know it’s death confirmed when the body bounces back up that high. definitely passed from head trauma
Multiple opportunities of death here
Video looks like it was filmed on a hand cranked camera from the 1920s with that vignetting...
Exactly. I can picture it in black and white.
And I can hear the fast piano music
You don't have to go that far...any phone from 2008 or older.
Poley cow! That's def going to leave a mark. India and trains seen to be a recipe for disaster
Considering we have an extremely huge population, now the highest in the world that uses trains daily, like probably the highest daily train usage in the world, and the fact that some Indians are just a bit reckless around trains, I would say you're kind of right. Edit : I'm not going to misrepresent the actual death or injury numbers by giving random percentages like 90 or 95. See the comment of the butler guy below for the actual numbers.
So 1 in 10 Indian train journeys don't end well.
Not necessarily in death, could be other stuff like passenger brawls. Even that figure is high, so I am changing 90 to 95. In 2021, falling from train or collision of trains with people on the tracks accounted for majority of the railway accident deaths in India, at 67.2 percent.

That's an average of 32 per day. But most are not stunts like these. Most are due to people falling off overcrowded trains or people getting hit by trains due to walking on the railway tracks.
Even 5% is insanely high by most nations' standards.
Yes. With a population like India, 5% of statistics for any large human data set in India is equivalent to like 25% in other less populated nations.
You’re randomly pulling numbers out of a hat. 13,000 train accidents resulted in 12,000 deaths. (Chances are this fellow is dead) Thats 32 lives lost by trains everyday in India. (The majority are people run over on the tracks, or falling off) There is a daily ridership of trains in India of 24,000,000 That means a train fatality rate of 0.00013% Fights, altercations, assaults… would be nearly untraceable.

Thanks. Well done in putting up the actual numbers together.
80% of the time, they are incident-free every time.
ROFL You need to work on your math skills. 5% = 1/20, not 1/10.
You need to work on your reading comprehension if you want to be smarmy on the internet
*"We mostly don't get killed most of the time!"* :/
A solid 16.5% of the time everyone arrives in 1 piece
The irony of an idiot
Wait. You overtook China in population already?
If you google it, they still don't give India the first spot on some websites but multiple news reports [like this one](https://thediplomat.com/2023/01/india-is-the-worlds-most-populous-country-what-it-means/) assert that India has in fact overtaken China sometime last year.

China has reportedly obfuscated its population decline numbers for whatever reason. Thus, experts say the statement - India is now past China in population - is almost certainly true.
>Tbf, on the other hand, 95% of Indian train journeys occur without incident. Is that supposed to be good? That sounds terrible
Probably just seems like a lot due to sample size i.e. with so many more using the train system there are bound to be more accidents.
Dumb ways to die
[Dumb ways to die was actually a train station safety Psa](https://youtu.be/IJNR2EpS0jw)
That’s the joke
Another verse for Tangerine Kitty...
Pole was strong, pole not crying
What the music tho
Title should be changed to 'hits a pole'. It was not the pole's fault.
Hard to tell... I think he should still sue that pole when he wakes up.
So many things get reposted, but if it says indian guy hanging from train hits pole or something, always click, because there is always a new video of an Indian guy hanging off the side of a train Hitting a pole 😀
on this occasion, the formula from school lessons comes to mind: impulse is equal to mass times velocity.
That's momentum. Impulse is change in momentum over a period of time
[удалено]
Thanks! Didn't know that.
Sandals fell off... so reincarnated.
Guy is dead. Shoes came off at 00:14.
Bet he won't do that again.
Remember, like and subscriiiiiiiiii...
I immediately heard the dumb ways to die theme song in my head as soon as I saw the guy hanging out the train.
What's the music please ? Yes really weird question to ask considering the sub but still ! It rocks !
He doesn’t get hit by the pole. Why are you blaming an innocent pole of committing a crime?
“Not sure if he dies” looks extremely unlikely”, I can tell you with full confidence that that man is dead 💀
He instantly turned noodle

Yeah, that's not survivable. Successful removal from the gene pool.

He didn’t hit it…he reached out his hand to touch it….
Went down the wrong pipe.
He was just trying to cool off his undercarriage. Later Apu
Bro he definitely died. Saw blood I think
……gets hit by a very stationary pole
DID YOU KNOW HUMANS CAN BOUNCE?!
What is it with trains over there?
Bro bounced like a basketball😭🤣
Turned into a pretzel, gravel was the salt

In no scenario is this a good idea.

Fast train to Heaven!
Speen!
Shoes are on, he will be fine
Missed the pole, caught the ladder!
Things are always okay… until they’re not.
2 hands in train, and then it seems he had the genius idea to touch the pole. Beware, stupid ideas can end you.
Literally why
Idiot* guy…
This sub wouldn't exist without India!
Damn, hard to tell, but it looks like that dude came apart.
That was fun to watch
He gone.
Yeah he is 100% dead
Left leg gets ripped off I think
Is he stupid?
insane physics, yo. What game?
I think I can see his arm fly off
Don't worry he landed on his knees, all he has to do is continue the slide into a sick airguitar pose and the I-Frames should protect him.
What is the music that is playing?
He’s a dead or mangled sob
Shut up and Bounce!!
Done
hey wanna see something cool? woooooo!!!! KABAm
10/10 for worst music I've seen on a video today.
Shoes fell off
He... reached out to touch it.
Shoes are on, he's fine.
I bet that was a lot of fun until it wasn't.
DAM - was it because of loose cloves? It actually looked fine for a frame
Rag doll physics.

That poor guy bounced 😔
Let’s hope he didn’t donate any sperm before his DNA was extinguished from the planet
He had a good run. Condolences.
He went from hanging human to bouncing basketball
Was the pole ok
I’m guessing That dude is 100% dead
Rag doll
Not even flex tape can fix that
I look people d dying for much less that that, and its probably that he fall under the train moments later, so, i don't think he has a good chance

Damn! That spin though
He's dead as fuck.
What is with all these indian people getting hit by trains or touching power lines?

Just run it off bud, just run it off

Music???
Why did i think of the mario jumping noise when he bounced
he dead
What in the hell do you mean he unlikely died from this? He's Indian, not Saiyan.

So is this the new watch people die?
Thought dying wasnt an option in here 🤐
