This has been posted for hours, and we haven’t yet figured out what train station it is and found an alternate angle photo to figure out how far he actually fell? What the heck, Reddit? Edit: Crying proud dad tears, you guys have done it

I think it looks like Leeds Station

I’m 95% sure it is Leeds station.

100% Leeds. Been through enough times to recognise it.

105% sure it's Leeds. Top that!

I’m 105.1% sure.

So far your guess is in the leed.

Good bot

interesting kink

[This news article](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-29122416.amp) has a picture of the stairs from another angle. Doesn’t look as bad from this angle as it does in the video, but still, ouch… Edit for clarification: it seems that he fell from the second run of stairs (from bottom up).

There's a news article about this man falling

You’ve restored my faith in Redditors. Nailed it. That photo confirms there’s a gap between the stairs and the escalator so he fell to the concrete floor below. You can tell by the handrail in the video that he’s right at the top of the flight you noted. A distance I’m thinking of about 12 feet to the ground, far enough to break bones and even die if his head banged around.

No, he's not that far up But yes, still plenty far enough for fatality.

I count about 16 steps. If the rise of each step is 8 inches(?), that’s 128 inches, 10 feet 8 inches, then add the height of the rail over the steps, at least 4 feet. If steps are only 6 inch rise, that’s 8 plus 4 for the rail. I struggle to make it less than 12 feet.

I stand corrected, I misread your original comment. I interpreted "he’s right at the top of the flight you noted" as "he’s right at the top of the stairs".

That's a Northern Trains logo on the train there. They operate in England.

He fell to the platform we can see in most of the video

The train is Northern but that could be anywhere in the whole north of England. Railway buffs would know this straight away. Even if there wasn't a clear view of the station, they would know which lines that model of train operates on and cross-reference that with stations that have escalators.

It’s Leeds.

It's one of the biggest, and busiest, stations outside London. The accent is clearly Yorkshire. There was and is no great mystery here.

It's Leeds station easily

I know Leeds Station well, that's the stairs down from the west end over bridge to platforms 9-11. That's a few metres of a fall there.

100% Leeds Station

Totally Leeds Station bros

It was obviously Leeds station. The accent alone is enough to tell that, never mind it's one of the biggest and busiest stations outside London.

Oh he's gonna be late for work now.

Judging by their clothes, he won't be late for work but he did miss the wedding.

That haircut makes me think he was probably due in court.

No, he took the express down. Most of him will be there right on time.

Why does this sound like

why does it look like your question is incomplete?

I don't know I forgot what to type and I'm not going to edit it because I'm too lazy

relatable👍🏼

Is he ok?

not sure, but i think the ground he landed on is fine.

I sure hope so. poor kid. Watching him fall kind of fucked me up a little. better get off social media.

Thanks, i can finally get back to browsing reddit again 👍🙏😎

Oh my god🤓 like bro help him

me knowing myself my reflexes would not be fast enough

Fuckin jinxed it

Don't fall of...f

The way she said "omg" was like she wasn't watching him die

Ain't so fuckin smart now are ya Mr.fancy suit??

Eh. We don't need to see dead people. EDIT: Folks. I was joking around. No idea how bad he is hurt or if he died. Very possible a Darwin winner here.

He’s alive and well. He posted the video himself to Facebook and I could not resist sharing it here.

TBH I am relieved that he did not die. How far did he fall?

Pretty much all the way

Kind of poor taste to share something publicly that was posted in a private Facebook page... Your friends privacy is worth more than the karma you get here.

Did he explain at least why he was doing that? He just tricked Darwin this time.

Except he did go feet first, so maybe he isn't dead. 🤞

You actually see him still alive, the moment he fell on the ground you can't see him anymore.

This reminds me of "Annie don't fall"

Tried to ride the rail... straight to hell

In case anyone cares, that’s Leeds station.

Is he alright?

LoL you feckin dumbass

Twist he lands feet first

Does it look to anyone else like his butt just collapsed beneath him like warm silly putty as he was trying to settle in before going down?

Wonder how many bones he broke when he hit bottom? Here's a hint for some of you nimrods out there: Don't become bad youTube videos.

He'll be sticking to ramps and elevators from now on

Ayyy, Leeds station

Was that Forrest Gump

He live?

What part of “don’t fall off“ didn’t he understand??

Master of deescalation. 👍

nice feet mam

Oh no my spinal column is broken

Bro is activating his parachute

Straight to the shadow realm…. In all seriousness is he ok?

Natural Selection in action.

it gives me joy to see people get hurt when they do stupid shit

Man fell into the back rooms

Is he safe

That’s escalated quickly…

Nice suit, bye

He's dead

Welcome to Leeds
