The Great Train Dodge

Reports today about a kid in England put on referral for forcing a train to apply its emergency brakes by playing chicken with the train which was travelling at 100mph.

I have to admit having a similar encounter with a train myself as a kid. Although in my case we were mitching off school near the train tracks. We heard the train coming and started climbing up out of harms way but the root I was using to pull myself up broke and I started sliding down the embankment just as the train was coming. One of the guys I was with managed to grab me at the last second... and that my friends is the closest I have ever come to death.

But that is nothing compared with this moron... train dodge!
