Interesting article. I was wondering how people would be hit by trains so often when in the US they are loud and relatively slow. Turns out a lot of the accidents mentioned involve people who are suicidal or mentally ill or circumventing safety guards.

Doesn't seem like suicides should fall under the "accidents" category.
