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.

might as well :justpost: the video, terrifying double-track portion starts at ~15:00

They originally used a model Corvette for that demonstration as it looked cooler, but it kept spinning off before they even added the the toy trailer.

It looks awfully fake to me. It takes more than a cigarette to ignite methane - and the guy is mostly unhurt (and unmoved) despite a bunch of dirt and concrete getting blown into his face.

I suspect it's a part of an ad.

It is amusing, though.
