A message to anyone thinking of committing Suicide

[Halo Jones]

Just how fat are you that a train at 5mph hasn't enough momentum to kill you?

Normally on the underground it’s not the train impact but the 3rd rail, which will electrocute them (as its DC it will cause the person to stick to it (so never help anyone who is stuck until they kill the power)

The earlier train was delayed by an hour at Waterloo last night so I arrived home at the same time.

If I commit suicide I will cause the maximum inconvenience possible. Maybe I will drive a truck full of explosives into the dartford tunnel and explode them. Or set off an EMP in the middle of the city.

Even if the train were infinitely massive and the collision totally elastic, a person could at maximum only bounce off the train at double their approach speed, i.e. 10 mph in this case, if the person weren't also initially moving towards the train. [If the person were moving towards the train, the recoil speed gets doubled by that amount too, ouch]. The train wouldn't be slowed and the person would instantaneously accelerate to 10mph, a bit like trotting into a brick wall and bouncing off. Best not done with the head. I once walked into a lamppost, but that was more of an inelastic collision, which isn't as bad.

Some throbber jumped under a train I was on last year. At 07:20 as the train was arriving inside Waterloo station itself!

Suffice to say they survived as the train was doing about 5mph

Maybe it's easier to do when the platforms are crowded?

Nope people fall by accident so others will try and save them.

Sucides don't cause the most disruption.

Teenagers and their pals running along the tracks, or scrots stealing copper wire and actually removing enough before they get themselves electrocuted cause more. Mainly because they have to turn off all the electricity.

Dodgy pushed him to create the vacancy. 180 days after he placed him.

[Old Greg]

Poor show Dodgy. How come you didn't find out if it was someone who still had a job who'd topped himself. I bet Computer Futures had two rec-cons down there straight away going through his clothes.

Can you please not do it on a line out of Waterloo at the height of rush hour. It wont make a blind bit of difference if you go into work a bit later or leave the office earlier - by the time they sack you it wont matter.

That gives them even less of an excuse

OK then, maybe they have just fired someone as the company they own goes down the pan?

[DodgyAgent]

Maybe they have already been fired after working for a company thats going down the pan quickly
