ive got a mate who works as a station guard he said most jumpers
off the platform turn to spray & lumps if they get it right
hes got some very wierd episodes that happen on the track none are good
but been told if they lay over the track with there neck on the track
when the train hits the brakes ,,,when its a blind corner
"most suicide people know the spots"
the wheels heat up that much THERES very little BLOOD ie the red hot wheels
cauterize the wound on the neck and head
fook me what a way to die
MUST TAKE SOME MAJOR STATE OF MIND TO DO THAT
feel as graceland said for the drivers
dont they call them unders or something ?

its known as "1 under" unless you have had a few like me, then its known as "another 1 under"

worst one i saw was a virgin train on the west coast mainline where someone jumped infront of it while it was travelling at 110mph - blew them in bits and destroyed the fibreglass front of the virgin voyager


and as for cutting them up when they lay on the line - no blood or guts, but the smell is horriffic, i can only liken it to badly rotten cornish pasties and burnt clutch together

I remember seeing somewhere, that depending what they've eaten, the smell can vary from 'outside a chinese' or 'fresh meat counter at sainsbury'!
Not good, i take my hat off to you mate!
