I have a buddy who lost the front of his foot because he was bored and playing around on trains that went by. Suddenly, the front of his foot was missing. It ain’t entirely safe to be screwing around with these things. They can kill you even in slow motion.
One of my classmates was killed by a train when we were in grammar school. Very sweet kid. Horrible.
A friend of mine and I saw a guy posing naked on a freeway on-ramp cloverleaf one night. After I confirmed with my friend that he saw it too and I wasn’t hallucinating, we figured it had to be a frat hazing prank, as the guy appeared to be pretty young. We were getting on 280 in Cupertino, so San Jose State University wasn’t far away, nor was Stanford University.
This was back in the early 1980s.
