Did anybody else see the CCTV clip on Calendar of the crazy foolish kid who thought he was 'Reyt Ard!' by standing on a rail track and jumping off at the last minute.

What a total wan*er! I don't know if it would have been a good thing or not if it had hit him. Where were these guy's when brain cells were being handed out !??????????:confused: :gag:

I'd say that it's a bad thing he didn't get hit, but think of the driver and the hell he'd go through. If trains weren't manned by a driver, the idiots SHOULD get killed :cool:

exactly what i said

I didn't mention the driver would "get done" for it, because he wouldn't "get done" for it. A suicide is a suicide.

Didn't see the news but is it a differant incident to the one I posted on this thread (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44394&highlight=train+happy+slapping) ???

Have a look at the clip - it is very shocking...another second and it would have hit him and most certainly killed him...foolish idiot!

I say he should have held out longer, I bet the train would have swerved first!

According to the report on this story on the ITV News website the youth involved said he did it "for a laugh" which of course makes it all right. Indeed, if police are called to any incident in future and a suspect says they have done something "for a laugh" the police should leave them alone. Actually, I'd go further and say that this youth should be made Prime Minister as soon as possible because if Britain was run by thinkers who were as intelligent and original as him this country could be transformed overnight. You know it makes sense.

I saw the CCTV footage on the news and couldn't quite believe it. He could've given it another half second at least. :D

But seriously... what a stupid thing to do. He could so easily have misjudged the speed the train was coming towards him at.

Ah the youth of today!

Whats wrong with you people...
The guy who out chickened the train is a legend and deserves all the credit he gets for this hilarious japery, he is so cool and everyone should be like him.. also the people who surf trains for fun- they are well 'wicked man' as well!!

Now my funny drugs have worn off

What an absolute cock!
'Look at me, cleverly dodging a train!'
'I'm so big and hard I need to show the whole nation just how clever I am'

I am so funny that I can tell all the people, that I did it for a laugh- what a comedian.. sorry.. I dont think people are laughing... then again they might have been if you had been slapped by the train :)

Now that, would have been funny.

Tell you what- if the guy is so big and clever.. get him onto Bad Lads Army.. they love clever witty and funny guys in there.. I'd like to see this arsehole blubbing his eyes out within 1 week.

I could hardly watch it - what a plank that kid is.

Is it true he got a £30 fine ????

You get more for dropping fag ends or letting your dog poop. Should have been made to pay the train driver compensation - that must a train drivers hell.

A six-month "referral order" (http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/docs/referral.html) and £40 costs.

Just watched the video link that Shiesh supplied us with- cheers shiesh :) by the way!!

The funny bit for me is when the fat lad stands on the tracks and gives the driver the finger before 'bravely' racing away...

If I were the driver- I'd have put my foot down on the accelerate- seriously!

ummm...I would have to agree on that too!! These kids are literally terrorising our train drivers...:rant:

His poor mate must have been terrified too!!
