Watch as a Woman Barely Escapes Getting Splattered by a Train
If this doesn't make you obey those railroad crossing arms nothing will. A Dutch railway company released security video to warn pedestrians about the dangers of ignoring railroad crossing arms. The video was recorded a few years ago, but the lesson still applies.
In the video, you see a bunch of people ducking under the descending safety arms. They make it across. Then just as the arms settle all the way down, a woman ducks under to cross the tracks, then she straightens, apparently notices that a very fast train is coming and she ducks back to safety, just as the train goes barreling by.
DARN SCARY!
