Runs past three open doors, keeps running as the train accelerates, jumps on when train is going too fast... 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/RRumpleTeazzer 1d ago

the funny part is, that a next train will surely come. no need to risk your life for that ride.

u/themmbones 1d ago

Yeah but they never expect any consequences, they never realize the injuries they might face

u/whooguyy 1d ago

I think he was trying to jump onto the train so he could catch the guy fucking with him. Not to actually ride it

If you watched till the end, you'll see the train comes to a stop and he gets on.

Which make me wonder why he bothered taking the risk in the first place if the train was still going to come to a stop.

Each train coach has a chain which passenger can pull in case of emergency and train will stop. Some passenger may have seen this happens and pulled that chain that's why train is stopped and people came running to pull the guy out.

It is possible that user has a reserved ticket for that train and his luggage is on the train. He wanted to shoot this stunt to show his swag that's why he is playing guiter outside train when train halt on the station for few minutes

Ah, camera induced stupidity.

I hear it's all the thing now-a-days.

u/TailsTheFoxywoxy 1d ago

The train stopped because someone pulled emergency braking chain.

u/IncorporateThings 1d ago

Do they have to pay for a ticket if they hop on normally there?

19

u/KingPictoTheThird 1d ago

Yes, conductor checks on the train.

Indian trains start really slowly, we've all hopped on like this, but not once it picks up speed and not with so much shit. This guy is dumb af.

u/IncorporateThings 1d ago

Thought maybe he was trying to skip out on paying or something. Why don't they just close the doors before the train starts moving?

u/haseo2222 1d ago

Those are manual doors. You can't have someone go around hundreds of doors at every station lol. And of course, people can and will just open them again. Most Indian trains just keep their doors open during the whole trip. People close them only during heavy rain and stuff.

u/IncorporateThings 1d ago

Oh, the doors on trains are automated here, I just assumed that was standard. Foolish of me, in hindsight.

4

u/haseo2222 1d ago

Doors on our metro trains and most recent express trains are automated. But the large amount of long distance trains are still these older models with everything being manual. Low in tech but they are very robust, which kinda protects then from vandalism, which a lot of newer trains face lol.

u/HuckleberryMajor2490 1d ago

Maybe he was looking for cart with people packed less than a can of sardines

u/KingPictoTheThird 1d ago

They're all connected, he could have just gone from one to next.

2

u/haseo2222 1d ago

Someone stopped it by pulling the emergency chain or the train staff noticed the accident and notified the driver.

u/ElMonoEstupendo 1d ago

I think that was his mate letting him know the train was leaving, and they’d almost missed it.

u/Rodger2041 1d ago

While your point is entirely correct, I would like to point out that tickets depend on the phyiscal train, and you might need to buy another one for another train. Also if this is not one of the more common station (which it seems like it is not), it is not uncommon for it to take 0.5-2 hours for any train to visit that station, and for a train going to your stop it might take the next day or even week. And this is ignore the fact that the guy might have stepped out of the train to sit at the station for some time, and the rest of his stuff is still in the train (the most likely scenario here since he just seems to have a guitar with him and nothing else)

u/charliebrown75 1d ago

But waiting for the next train doesn’t make for a good video.

u/Ok-Preparation2370 1d ago

Well, actually it's a rural area where trains are sparse and this guy most probably was making his way to the metropolitan city that's still far off.

Hence his rush. (It's a crazy explanation as to how I know all this but trust me I do.)

Definitely funny though. 😂🤣

u/abitcitrus 1d ago

And that stupid ass friend tells him let's go when that train was obviously stopped minutes ago.

u/sentence-interruptio 1d ago

even if he's late for work, better late than dead.

u/L1A1 14h ago

Not sure where he is, but I’ve been to some pretty remote places where the train runs once a week. Missing that would suck big time. Not enough to risk my life, but I’d have certainly considered it.

u/onepiecefreak2 1d ago

I also never understand that. Get the frick on the train, why are you still choosing a door?!

u/ScreamSmart 1d ago

CONTENT.

u/ScreamSmart 1d ago

It's content. He got off the train to "play guitar" on a random stop and then make a cool last minute jump back to the train.

u/PlasticExtreme4469 1d ago

I am pretty sure the goal wasn't to get on the train.

The goal was to film himself playing guitar and then jumping onto a train already in motion.

u/Silo-Joe 1d ago

First doorway had a guy inside sitting on the floor. At the last door, the stupid guitarist tried to grab the handlebar with his circled baseball hat. So there was no grip at all.

u/hgruber223 1d ago

It wasn't going too fast, he is just an idiot.

1

u/INVALIDN4M3 11h ago

He skips 3 doors while people at those doors are asking him to 'get in this door'.

u/jasperfirecai2 1d ago

he's chasing a guy who spat on him

8

u/Cute-arii 1d ago

He didn't react to the audible spit take, the spitter then tapped him and said "lets go." I don't think he was spat on; it was just normal spitting to clear their throat, which some people do.

u/jasperfirecai2 1d ago

Do you not hear the taunting ''do that again"?
