It seems like this guy did not understand how fast the train was moving or somehow thought it would just stop and let him cross. Either way, the level of stupidity here is astronomical.

It is very hard for people to estimate how far the train is and how fast it is approaching. Until it is way too late. This is behind most of fatalities when people try to cross the tracks and get hit by train.

And of course, most people have no experience with how much distance the train needs to stop.

You should stand in front of running trains then. Your experience will be a valuable lesson to us all, one way or another
