      A few weeks back I was out with my kids and heard about someone jumping in front of the train that day.

      All I could think was: what if a kid was sitting up front enjoying the ride and looking at the tracks? How would I deal with that if it were my kid?

      Sounds like a justified cost to me.

      I’ve definitely seen trains get stopped for such reasons… I really feel for the people who have to clean it up.

        Seems harder to pull someone off the tracks with these in place.

        I also hear people with no easy options will still find a way to accomplish their last goals.

          How are they going to end up on the tracks? Doors open after train stops and closes before train starts.

            I’m not saying it’ll be easy. Wasn’t it stadium where a guy hopped a barrier and fell onto the tracks from above?

            And each minute inside that aquarium will be so comfy in the summer.

                You’re saying “glass it up and A/C the place” as if that’s not like shooting oneself in the foot because crutches are fun?
