Dangerous Train Stunt in Mumbai Local Train - indian-enews

Mumbai:  A one-minute video of two youngsters performing a death-defying stunt on the tracks before an approaching train near Khadaki railway station has gone viral in the virtual world.

Here's how they pull it off

One of them lies down on the tracks moments before an express train arrives, and lets the train pass over him. After the train whizzes by, the person emerges unscathed. His friend, who is apparently shooting this whole episode, joins him and then both of them jubilantly wave at the camera.

After watching the crazy video, the railway police are trying to trace the boys who pulled off the stunt early this month.

The police have appealed to local people to share information about the whereabouts of these 'stuntmen' so that necessary action can be taken against them.

After MiD DAY brought this widely circulated video link to the notice of the Government Railway Police (GRP), they beefed up security around Khadaki railway station.

"It is out of sheer luck that the person doing these stunts has emerged alive. This act is suicidal."

"If a person doing such stunts is hit by any precariously dangling object such as hose pipe from the passing train, he will die on the spot," Senior Inspector of GRP Mahendra Rokade said. "I have asked all my officers to keep a close watch near Khadaki railway tracks and if we find any one doing stunts, the person will be booked for attempt to suicide under Section 309 of the IPC."

Worst is not losing life but losing a limhaving an injury that will ruin their life forever!

I have often come across youngsters who try various 'stunts' in trains. Most of them are in the age group 12-18! While they think they appear 'cool' doing so, they don't realise that they only show how stupid they are and more than anything else, their life is at a huge risk. 

I came across this video of a guy performing a super risky stunt which is being shared a lot on Facebook

These stunt boys go with the funda - itna darr darr ke nahin jeeneka. However, they ignore that the nahin jeeneka part of the sentence is the strongest in this scenario.

Also, I have seen commuters just making faces but not asking them to stop. Commuters don't want to hear stuff like 'Uncle, apna kaam kar na', 'Tereko kya karneka hai?', etc. But remember - if you don't say a word and you happen to witness a tragic incident you might regret all your life.

DO NOT TRY / ENCOURAGE STUNTS IN TRAINS. PLEASE STOP THE WRONG-DOERS.
