One of the biggest causes of idiots killing them selves on train tracks, either on foot or in a car, is the 2nd train they didn't see. The crossing starts to light up and ding, the gates come down. You see the training coming from your right and know you can beat it, so you gun it around the gate. What you didn't see was a train on the other track behind the 1st train moving faster. A large proportion of people killed by trains (that aren't suicide) are on multiple tracks. It's very easy to feel confident that you can get past the train you can see, and you become fixated on that one to the point of ignoring others. Also other than their horns, trains can be pretty quiet from the front. All the sound comes out the top/sides for the most part.

But what if they'd been walking towards the car, and then all of them instead of just one of them died? Where are the Wikipedia lists of people saved by the heroic act of selfie-taking?

Real content: Cruise ship crew Diogenes Carpio and Ben Buenaventura, both from the Philippines, died after a lifeboat safety drill accident aboard the Norwegian Breakaway on 20 July while the cruise ship was docked in Bermuda.

The lifeboat was left hanging from one wire after it broke free from the tethering, resulting in four crew members falling into the water.

The two surviving crewmen, 25 year old Romanian man and a 31 year old Indian man, were treated and discharged from the hospital.

Carpio died at the scene. Buenaventura was transfered from Bermuda to the intensive care unit of Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. He had fractures to both legs, hip, right arm, punctured lungs and traumatic brain injuries. He died on 30 August.

Lifeboat drills are legit the most dangerous activity commercial seafarers engage in. Hey let's hang a multiple ton boat from wire forty feet up, what could possibly go wrong! (Also the wires are set up to be easily released in an emergency).

Cruise ships are especially bad because most of their crew don't have a lot of training in lifeboat operations, and they have a shitload of lifeboats.

If a cruise ship goes down can we just forget the lifeboats and chalk it up as a soft win?

Why don't they have the life boats just resting on the ship, then as the ship goes down the life boats are gently added to the water as the ship slips under?

Ships don’t always sink slow and level.

Sometimes this happens:

Sometime the ship catches fire real good and you need to GTFO before it even starts sinking.

The life rafts are set up to self deploy if the ship sinks and no one launches them first though. Same thing with free fall lifeboats.

Don't ships also basically suck everything around them down with them too, or am I dimly remembering some wrong info? If so, you probably don't want your life raft hitting the water right before the ship goes below the surface, better to have time to get some distance between you and the ship.
