How fast does a train need to go in order to kill me?

[Deleted member 24361]

I'm planning to die by train, and I'm just looking at the speed it needs to go.

I have no clue but @StateOfMind is interested in that method so he might help you out.

 

[Aap]

I would start at 5 fathoms per second and work from there

Trains are big heavy things.

Trains are kinda big and heavy. You know that right?

Do you live in Europe? Want to go together?

Going off of this... a train could be going at a snails pace and kill you if you wait long enough. A few have survived though from slow speeds (and even high speeds but less likely) due to the train literally "pinching" the area (such as abdominal cavity) and preventing blood loss making it easier to be saved by paramedics. Usually with grave medical consequences such as a hemicorporectomy.

There was someone on here that tried that approach and ended up losing both their legs.

Omg, do you know who? That's awful.

 

[jd300100]

i wouldn't even risk that honestly

you're more likely to end up severely disfigured than ctb.

I don't remember the name.

It's a bit of a selfish way to destroy yourself though. Conductor has to live with the guilt.

Yeah, I knew a guy who was an alcoholic and passed out on train tracks in the snow. He lost his legs too and wound up in a wheelchair until he ctb a few years later.

There was a bodybuilder who got into an accident and had to use a wheelchair. He killed himself a few years later I suspect partly because of the pain and lifestyle changes.

There's a woman who basically had severe back pain in her 20s and had to eventually use a wheelchair. She found peace through a very intense meditation practice.

I often wonder whether the bodybuilder would've killed himself if he was born crippled. I think the adjustment was too much for him to bear.

The woman who found peace was quite active as well. And by all accounts, her pain seems quite overwhelming. But she manages to endure somehow. I'm trying to take notes.

It depends how exactly you wanna die by the train. Decapitation or get hit and smashed? It doesn't need to be too quick, just you know..the regular speed? Idk trains but I advise against this method because you might traumatize the driver and even passengers which is not cool. Ctb should be a single person thing if possible

Are you going for decap or collision?

For decap (or getting cut in "half") the train doesn't need to be super fast just make sure the train doesn't have a cow pusher.
For collision, honestly I don't know what the minimum speed is just make sure its one that speeds through the station really fast and stand in the middle of the tracks.

To find the right train may require trainspotting, finding a pattern of when trains fly through so you can prepare.

I'd hope they'd want the train to be going fast, because an instantaneous death versus a long, drawn-out one makes a world of difference.

Yeah, I wouldn't want a slow train, if I were choosing a train.

0.00000000000001 mph. Just needs to go over head no one has ever survived that. If you mean just jump on train track while you are a very high chance of dying I wouldn't recommend that.

Long drawn out death? What is he a super hero? "I can only hold the 40 tons back for a few minutes" Weighs way to much for you to survive unless you just get part of your body decapped.
