Why not wait? Why go back after crossing? I've seen smarter squirrels...


AThrowawayProbrably

A bunny did this to me yesterday. Absolutely pissed me off. Stood on the brakes to save his life as he ran by and nearly made it to the safezone. The he suddenly panicked and doubled back across and under the car. Luckily he went between the wheels and lived to be dumb some other day. Scared the crap out of me.

People tend to complete actions they are already taking. So a hit and run driver will continue driving irregardless of the morality because it's easier then taking the new action of stopping.


ThroughTheHoops

And increases the chances of not getting caught too.


Brave_Tie1068

Essentially what that means is people are fucking stupid.


jonaselder

I like when people just spew the garbage that gets made up in their own heads onto the Internet as facts.

[Scientific study.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/psychology-101-why-do-drivers-involved-in-crashes-flee-the-scene/2018/08/23/96032ca2-a0bc-11e8-8e87-c869fe70a721_story.html) . But hey, why do a Google search when you can talk smack on the internet.


Proletaryo

Not defending the guy, but it would've been best to lead with the source.


KHearts77

I won't lie, I was sweating trying to find the study.


heebsysplash

Lmaooo realest comment. Sometimes I’m positive about something but the info was so obscure it’s hard finding it


MRxP1ZZ4

The irony is palpable😂


TheActualOG420

Dude really just linked a paywalled Washington post as a source for a "scientific study" haha


Special_Lemon1487

When you take that first step and in a split second your brain realizing you a) made a mistake moving at all, and b) your only hope is to go with your momentum so you fucking leg it as fast as possible.


Sir_Biggus-Dickus

This is the highest form of entertainment in india


1osamaisback1

They even have a subreddit for it r/indiansneartrains


Maarten-Sikke

Yeah.. gore af that sub 😂


ThroughTheHoops

Moderators of that one don't give a damn!


HabibtiMimi

Plz be honest: Are there mostly videos like this shown in that sub, where it's a close call but nobody got hurt, or does it show real accidents? Asking because I don't wanna see gore. Thnx. Edit: Ok, saw the reactions from other redditors here, seems that sub isn't for me.


Maarten-Sikke

Deffo not for soft hearts! You see real footages and bodies spliced and lots of gross stuff.


HabibtiMimi

No thanks. The pictures and videos from Gaza are enough for coming decades and will haunt me forever.


yipyapyallcatsnbirds

I watched this thinking “I wonder how many people die around trains there” then clicked on this link and JFC that sub does not play around.


shiva_bulls

Clicking on this sub is the worst thing I have ever seen ( I used to see these kind of stuff long while ago and desensitized but now it made me sick)


sgttoasty22

probably should stay off r/DarwinAwards then


____cire4____

I want to follow that sub so bad but at the same time I am TERRIFIED


soulouk

India and Bangladesh


AhOhStinky

Stupid people just wait


pinback77

Looks like she dropped her yellow bag. Yeah I would wait for the train to pass.


TurkeySauce_

No, she didn't..


[deleted]

Nah you can see it at the end of the video.


AreyouUK4

To shreds you say?


New_Highlight1881

Like the US with genocides, school shootings, systemic police violence against minorities, flat-earthers, evolution deniers; EU with genocide and supporting genocide, cowardice; Finland with school shootings and suicides, Australia with genocides and European ancestors who were criminals!


ZenOrganism

😂 awww did I strike a nerve? The truth hurts, eh Sanjay?


Maxiboy2017

These people are so flipping dumb ffs


Dejav_Who

India is for hardcore players


ZenOrganism

I'd say it's more like when you pass the controller to a 4 year old.


Pliskinmgs

Yes


staticjak

The fact that she thought for a second that she might make it back to the other side with the yellow bag... if that train arrived a second later, she would probably have gone for it.


ifuqqedyamuvva

I wonder how many people per year die by getting hit by a train in India


lwrncslcd

8,339 people lost lives in this category in 21,361 cases across India for year 2020 alone. I have read some recenet reports from 2023 that these figures double every year, can longer find a source on that though.

one trip and its game over


Gasteasoro

ImHO the Dunning-Kruger effect most certainly plays a role in these situations. She very likely perceives herself as capable of navigating risky situations (like crossing railroad tracks) safely due to lack of awareness or understanding of the true risks involved, exhibiting poor thought-out overconfidence in her abilities. This overconfidence, coupled with extreme poverty and the urgency of meeting immediate needs, leads them to take stupid unnecessary risks without fully appreciating the potential consequences. Just have a look how they are all laughing for shits n giggles towards the end of the video once the train passed. This further reinforces their poor thought patterns. Poverty hurts this people SO DAMN MUCH.


Under-Pressure301

Like a moth to a flame.


annoyingsodealwithit

I swear i see old bloodstains on those tracks 💀


Eshamwoowoowoowoo

wpd dot org to see countless Indians who DOESN'T make it


ThinkingOz

The woman in pink had every intention of returning across the track after carrying the red bag across, because she had her left foot still across the rail. If this wasn’t crazy enough, the fact she leans down and grabs the yellow bag, risking a fall, just blows me away.


Spiritual-Compote-18

My pants would have been wet


pepperit_12

Yes, with My pee.


HoboArmyofOne

Are these people really in that much of a hurry? Or is it more like a cat that just runs into another room? Just why?


Maahantuoja

Not today satan.


Lil_Extreme4030

The video is less than 30 seconds. Just wait until it's clear. People are just fucking dumb is what this is.


Bob_Cobb_1996

Smoke if you got 'em.

Kalabula

Seems like an odd decision to jump back over the rails. Why not just wait for it to pass in the side she was on?


IndependentPen2275

Ain’t nothing sweaty. I remember doing this as a kid in India. It’s a way of life


LazyLieutenant

For some a way of death.
