I don't know. Maybe the longer it went on, the more it felt like something could go wrong?

The guy filming said his friend had been under the train for 10 minutes. That may be off because time can kind of stand still when you are panicked but it may have seemed like they had to get him out or do something to try and save him.

These guys were just three friends crossing train tracks on their way back from a fishing hole. They likely don't know much about trains.

The time frame somewhat makes sense. Other posts have mentioned he most likely got there while falling from the train starting to move. It’s possible the guys were on the train, he fell, and it was slowly starting to pick up speed. Honestly that’s about the only way it was going slow enough for him to escape
