There comes a time when you have a duty of self-care to assume that the train coming down the track at you is not going to stop, and to take protective action. That time is long before the train gets there.

In the last few decades the standard has become ‘Knew or should have known’ in liability law suits.

So, why shouldn’t that standard apply to the victim as well?

Why shouldn’t the guy on the tracks know or should have known that the train could not stop in the distance from when the engineer can see the man on the tracks to when the train will run over the man?

Also, since the man on the tracks is trespassing why should the railroad have any responsibility for injuries to an adult who knows or should have known that they are trespassing in a dangerous area?

My worry is that they train will it the “object” on the tracks and derail the train causing a major accident.

Knowing these idiots might do something stupid, they might tie themselves to the track with chains or some other hard object which could indeed cause a derailment.

It is called sabotage and even terrorism.
