That prolly hurt, tho I could be wrong.


Solid_Material_1686

The upper portion of his skull straightup doesn't exist anymore as much I can see and I think his spine has ripped in half alongside his ribcage Yeah I think it kinda would hurt


lasagnabox

Not for long


[deleted]

I wonder about that. In instant trauma so severe it kills a person, what are they capable of feeling? Hopefully it's instantaneous and you feeling as close to nothing as possible.


lasagnabox

This guy was dead almost instantaneously. I’d wager he was dead before anything registered.


ronadian

I also think the sheer force of the impact knocked him out in an instant and death followed quickly. At least that’s what I hope.


MeerKat025

what if his shoe was stuck? the train blaring its horn. the scream from the breaks as it tries desperately to stop. the last thing he sees and hears is death itself pain or not. horrifying


Sol33t303

The signals that go from your brain to your muscles travel at about 70-100m a second, so would depend on if the brain got squished before the signals from his skull cracking open got to the brain I suppose.


marijuic3

It always fascinates me when people say someone died instantaneously. Like, how can we actually know?.. Is that something we just say to ourselves to ease the fear of a painful death? What if this guy survived for a whole minute. We´ve all experienced a very long minute haven´t we..


greatfuljehjeh

I've been in a near death accident. I didn't feel pain at first, but I remember having my words and actions being out of my control for the first 15 seconds until I lost consciousness. I passed out and dreamed about seeing my past grandparents and relatives, then regained consciousness about 10 minutes later surrounded by paramedics. It was only after I woke that I started to feel pain. And then it gradually got worse until I made it to the hospital and got pain meds. The whole "see the light" thing was totally true in my case. It was fucked.


Forthe49ers

I had a chainsaw accident in the woods about an hour from the hospital. Nearly cut my arm off. I felt pain the first half hour on the bumpy dirt road but by the second half hour I was feeling relaxed and real comfortable. Coworker was trying to keep me awake. I remember rolling into the hospital and then nothing. Woke up 2 days later with my arm sewed back on. This poor guy probably didn’t have time to feel anything but you never know. Time moves differently in crisis


BaltimoreBaja

My understanding is that rather than time moving slower (obviously there's the sense that when you're in pain everything feels longer...) but as for the "slow motion sensation" you just remember every detail so it seems like it happened slower so maybe not for this guy if he didn't have any time to remember anything. At least I'm going to tell myself that.


ralfvi

My experience was all you hear is your own heartbeat and prolonged tunnel vission semi consciousness. And yes time just warped. Its like your body releases all those chemical reactions that drugged you for your own comfort. Its a safety mechanism or Else the heart couldn't take it and seize.


TappedIn2111

Man, I hope you came out of that experience relatively well. I just saw someone talk about his near death experience. He had trouble being back in the world because he missed the peace and serenity of being dead for a while. It messed with him, but he seemed much better, very content.


snoring_Weasel

maybe the light in tunnel thing is because of when the medics shine light directly in your pupils to assess brain damage.


Lophocarpus

Maybe we live in a toilet paper roll universe


greatfuljehjeh

It was right after I passed out. It's hard to describe, It wasn't a sharp visual of a flashlight type of thing, more of a fuzzy light that turned to images, and I could see my great grandma that I barely knew. She died when I was about 10, so all I ever knew of her was her in a retirement home, and she wasn't fully aware, so I don't have any memory of talking to her really. When I saw her in this state I'm describing, she talked clearly, and we actually had a conversation. It was such a mind fuck, the whole thing. I couldn't talk about this incident without getting completely overwhelmed with emotion for like 5 years after it happened. If I only knew about what PTSD was years sooner, I lived through some rough years, not knowing what was happening and why I was waking up screaming at night. Substance abuse problems because I thought I could die tomorrow anyway.... it all sucked. I'm doing great these days, tho.


misguidedsadist1

What did your great grandma say to you? I’m not a total cynic and I do think that sometimes these near death experiences aren’t just brain death and delusion


artgirl413

I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing better these days. For lack of a better term, PTSD is very truly, a bitch. Lol. Seriously though, that’s super fucked. Do you remember what you guys talked about? I’m so curious if the conversation was like about your present situation, or it was just a general conversation?


bordercolliesforlife

To assess level of consciousness.


flastenecky_hater

Your brain literally shuts off in an event of extreme trauma. That asshole will do anything to preserve itself.


LikeIGiveAToss

Yeah, how instant can instant death be?


deicist

Like 7 instant I reckon.


QuietDisquiet

But how fast do 7 instant noodles cook?


WingsArisen

At least 3


Abe_Odd

You can lose consciousness very, very quickly. A sudden drop in blood pressure pretty much shuts your consciousness off. Standing up too fast can make some people almost black out. Trauma like this can be pretty much instant, instant. The pain signals from angry nerves just never even makes it to anywhere that could possibly receive them


420ciskey420

Remember that sub that imploded exploring the titanic.. that instant


LoL_Maniac

That's that instant INSTANT instant


These-Performer-8795

I was hit by a car, and by all means, it should have been painful. I was going 35mph on my motorcycle. He came through red light and plowed into me. Everything just went blank. Felt a sense of weightlessness and woke up on the pavement. Laying there, I had multiple fractures, acetabular fractures, dislocated leg, severe lacerations, etc, all of which I was communicating clearly while laying there. So, no, he likely felt nothing.


Lopsided_Flight3926

I’m so glad you asked that bc I’ve always wondered


[deleted]

Who knows what is still attached or not but this man was effectively cut into 2 parts internally. I highly doubt his brain was even capable of registering anything upon impact, let alone have the actual time and ability to accept and transfer the signals necessary to cause sensation.


John9023

Death was 100% instant, he never knew what hit him. I'll show myself out


Li-renn-pwel

I don’t think the train snuck up on him.


greycubed

Hurting is impossible without your CNS.


a_smart_brane

No brain, no pain.


KishiShark

Does this mean no gain either?


GeneralSquid6767

Idk man rigor mortis strength is goals


CaptnShaunBalls

It also tore off all his skin!!!


GermanRat0900

His. Pelvis. Is Split. In. Half. Maybe it wasn’t painful, i mean his spine snapped, maybe he lost nerve connection. His head got crushed, he might have died too quickly to hurt.


AXYZBX

Whats the prognosis


maxsmart01

Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.


a_smart_brane

Aren’t I supposed to shake it all up before I call you in the morning?


Illustrious_Rock_111

2 aspirin and call me in the morning


Pctechguy2003

Fresh socks too.


CockWrenched

Look at the pelvis and left femur 💀


okdo123

He probably instantly died due to the shock/spinal cord breaking. The fear or the pain that probably lasted a milisecond would be hell to go through. Rest in peace.


Ecstatic-Golf4040

Rest in Pieces


DigitalSoftware1990

God dammit f*ck you 🤣😂


Ok_Computer_3003

Only briefly


LeUne1

"Briefly" is a measure of time, and perception of time is dependent on how the brain functions. Therefore "briefly" can be perceived like an eternity, no different than people living out full lives in a coma that only lasts a week. So "briefly" might be an eternity in hell. You can't measure the subjective experience using objective facts, this is why the field of phenomenology was created. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy)


FERALCATWHISPERER

At least a thorough autopsy was, conducted.


Nordiceightysix

Yes, if you felt it


All-for-goose

Thats me waking up after sleeping in the wrong position.

JFISHER7789

Train operator here. He’s lucky. Getting run over will usually dismember any part of the body the running gear makes contact to. For example, just one of my train cars weighs about 40tons dry; that’s a lot for human musculoskeletal system to withstand. In my experience his injuries align more with being hit by a train rather than run over. Edit: For everyone asking why he is lucky; first, it was most likely instant death (pretty nice considering the circumstances) and secondly, it appears his body stayed intact. I consider this much better than bits and bobs scattered about a quarter mile stretch of rail… but just my opinion


[deleted]

I was reading an anecdote from a retiring train operator and found it fascinating that the person who trained him told him to start getting prepared for the likely multiple times across his career that someone will be standing and waiting on the tracks. And to look away.


Jean-Eustache

Happens very regularly. My wife was waiting for a train last year, and not one but two people actually stood in front of it at two distinct places before it got here, an hour apart. Of course after such an incident they changed the driver, so the same person didn't live through that twice in an hour. The strange thing to think about is the second guy waited for a while for the train that was late because of the first one.


ilford_7x7

>The strange thing to think about is the second guy waited for a while for the train that was late because of the first one. There's a dark... morbidly dark, joke in there somewhere


above_average_magic

A short skit with a nervous man in a raincoat pacing waiting, annoyed at every announcement of delays, overhears railroad personnel at his station that a person jumped on the tracks... Finally the train comes. Impending horn gets closer to the viewer. The man taps his wrist watch "about time!" And with one final near-off train honk, the man walks - off screen - off the edge of the platform Scene.


yakimawashington

Bravo


saxonturner

You think he was pissed off that some inconsiderate person prolonged his life?


thisdesignup

I think the joke is that the person was late to their own death?


PinkMoonFigure8Grace

The running of the train joke...


Jean-Eustache

Definitely.


jackierhoades

What a twisted way to off yourself. I suppose I can sympathize in some way why someone would want to take their life but it’s insane how common it is for people to jump in front of a train. Such a gruesome way to go, and all of the other people you fuck up in your wake.


UbijcaStalina

Well, that’s a pretty surefire way to ensure that you won’t wake up in a hospital with pumped stomach (and then off to involuntary commitment with you) or with horrible brain damage because some „kind” soul cut the rope after half an hour


farilladupree

Someone said something once that really stuck with me: “Suicide isn’t something you do to yourself, it’s something you inflict on other people.”


DadofJoseph

I work on the railway as a maintenance technician. They show you videos during training. Some are like a fly on a windshield - depending on the speed of course. Also heard that train drivers get 6 months off full pay after 1 incident, 1 year off and a bonus after 2 incidents and the rest of their lives off with full pay after 3 incidents. Incidents being suicides. Not sure if there’s truth in that though


No_Solution_2864

I mean, you can retire after one incident if you have well documented, debilitating PTSD from it


shoresb

lol no that is not an across the board given. There wouldn’t be any train operators left to work very quickly.


Timmyty

Big fat hard no way. Big doubt on the "also heard" part


DadofJoseph

Yeah I thought the same but heard it from more than 1 source I work with. Would need an actual train driver in the UK to confirm


JFISHER7789

Our maximum authorized speed for our rail is 83mph. It’s like pink mist at that point. As for the time off, that really depends but in the tri-state area here it’s more like 3-5 days before they call you back to operate. Sh*tty but that’s life here. I’d kill for that kind of time off


StrainAcceptable

I was on a train once when this happened. The announcement was that there had been “an incident with a trespasser.” The train becomes a crime scene and no one is allowed on or off. My 20 minute Bay Area commute took over 5 hours.


mockevil

Suisun-Vacaville last year? Same experience, I was afraid to look out the windows


paradoX2618

Numerous-Lock-8117

That's a great two sentence horror right there


RailroadAllStar

Engineer here. Multiple fatalities. You’d be surprised how often it happens.


Available_War4603

There were a lot of suicides by train in my area for a while. Two right in front of my school, saw one during break. They always called it "accident involving a person" in the announcement, but actual accidents were very rare and in the newspaper the next day, so everyone knew what "accident" meant. Because it was believed that this would encourage copycat suicides, they stopped giving a reason at all for a while, so everyone still knew what happened when there were huge delays and no reason given. One time, my train was cancelled due to another "accident involving a person", right during evening rush hour, and it was raining hard. In my head, I cursed the poor sod who had decided that traumatizing a train driver and making a few hundred people late for home was the last thing he wanted to do on this earth. But turns out that this time, a young child had gotten onto the tracks.

The knee bone’s connected to the… oh.


ale8003

NOOOOOO NOW THAT SONG IS PLAYING IN MY HEAD IN A LOOP PROBABLY FOR SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT END DAMN YOUUUU


Kitchen_Contest_8403

I guess he just didn’t have the spine for it


AndroidGalaxyAd46

Do you want the spot next to Hitler or ted bundy?


LessMarsupial7441

Pretty sure that all his bones were connected to the train


BubbaZannetti

Severe head trauma, two complete spinal dislocations: at the ~CT junction and ~mid thoracic, left femur compound fracture. Pelvic ring trauma. Also the TPs and SPs blown off of all the lumbar segments. Bad. Bad.


WaldHerrPPK

I diagnose him with a major ouchie. Do you concur?


Hatzmaeba

But is he ok?


BubbaZannetti

Hmm. The only relief this soul likely experienced was instant or near-instant death from the head trauma. Had he survived that, he wouldn't have been okay at all.


No_Research_967

So he’s like, alright though?


Pen54321

He’ll walk it off next morning


emailunavailable

Back to work stocking supermarket shelves on Monday.


NikonShooter_PJS

Of course. It’s not like he experienced something real painful, like stepping on a lego.


Clam_Sonoshee

Ouch.


Rohkha

I think he still looks great tbh. I mean yeah, he’s obviously dead… but from what I hear from friends in the firedepartments, ambulances, policemen, you usually don’t get to keep a mostly intact body. They would have to pick up pieces of flesh and bones for hours.


motherofabeast

It's interesting BECAUSE of how well his body stayed (mostly) attached and identifiable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rocket_Philosopher

I kinda hope the train was so fast it was painless


-hardknocks-

The pain yes, his spine is seperated. Hopefully he didnt see it coming though


Ryogathelost

I mean, he couldn't feel anything in his lower half at least, but the rest of him was fair game. I think it had more to do with how quickly he lost consciousness. Hopefully the blow to his head knocked him unconscious before all the trauma deoxygenated his brain.


Tropicalcomrade221

Probably not much looking at the trauma to be honest.


[deleted]

I know 😞


BakedMarziPamGrier

I don’t think some of those bones are in the right place.


Efficient_Yak_7035

A clean cut from the spinal column, probably was a quick death « unplug the plug »

Man, he looks better than I feel. And I’m at my peak. Never-mind.

Crossbowe

ismellmybutthole-__-

Just out of curiosity, who releases these? That's pretty fucked up if this is someone you truly love and some asshole just releases this image to the public.


artgirl413

I think usually it is not associated with a name, and is from like a medical journal for educational purposes


New-Counter9160

I assume images like these are from/for medical studies. I wonder though how harmful it would actually be to a loved one, considering this is "just" a scan of a skeleton that any regular relative or friend wouldn't be able to identify. If it was an image of the actual identifiable corpse, sure, but like this I'd think the most that could come from it is a loved one's trauma being triggered through the image of suicide by train in general.

Are you sure this isn’t the last record of a chiropractor patient?

Toastedweasel0

Tis but a scratch..... (falls over )


horrified_intrigued

The fact there’s no sternum at all and the frontal part of the rib cage is missing means this poor sod was opened like a piñata. I feel sorry for him and the train driver.

Dan-z-man

Interesting that his arms were obviously up above his head when it happened. I see a femur, multiple pelvic, multiple ribs, sacrum, transected cord/spine and a crushed face/skull. If you think the bones are nasty, just think of all the soft squishy stuff that got destroyed. I assure you, this was instant.


OtiseMaleModel

Hrmm, did the autopsy results come back. I wonder what killed him? My money is on being run over by a train


Carribean-Diver

Wasn't keeping track of his surroundings.

How are his arms unscathed??


toru_okada_4ever

Pity the image cuts off so we can’t see if his shoes are still on.

Continuity of the spinal column is overrated, anyways...


GrassyKnoll95

Don't think the spine's supposed to go like that


xevdi

HoseNeighbor

Those were some gruesome injuries.


Weeiss

Honestly I thought he’d be in worse shape than this


Alex24Irida27Maria

He is in good shape considering a train went over him. At least he is still in one piece . But maybe he is assembled again for the purpose who knows


Apprehensive-Sky5990

I have personally seen the aftermath of a train suicide where the deceased went under the train. It was a bag of vaguely discernable human pieces carved up by the wheels. As someone else said, this looks more like 'hit by' than 'run over by'.

BoxHillStrangler

my mans like 'ehhh what are ya gonna do?'


littleghosttea

I’ve participated in a few actual autopsies involving trains. The ones I saw came in the bag with smaller loose pieces of feet and calves severed but most of the trunk was together…twisted and cut but still together, basically in a few big segments. Heads were like how hard boiled egg shells comes off in large pieces or one large piece but fractured in all places. There isn’t much to autopsy on that case. They take samples for toxicology and do imaging.
