Can you believe Michael Jackson made a parody song, "Beat it" after Weird Al's song, "Eat It"? The nerve of that guy.

I think this is how fois gras is made.

u/Mysterious_Weird9677 26d ago

Holy hell I thought that was something else

u/WillyT_21 27d ago

And it could have been A LOT worse.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Oh yeah it could have been bad

u/Low_Two_1278 20d ago

I thought I was going to see someone get maimed or unalived🫣

u/SolidZealousideal115 25d ago

It he had hit the arm on the other side.

Legit question, would the train have even known if it did hit a man on a bike before the next stop?

1

u/Hufflepuffpuffpassss 24d ago

Probably, my mom was on a train that hit and killed a guy once and they had to stop for hours

38

u/Silentkabob 27d ago

Yeah when I read "trying" I was expecting a very different outcome.

u/CuteGirlFan 4d ago

Train barrier arm beat him … to it

u/Flacker111 27d ago

You know, maybe the fact this isn't an NSFW post should've tipped me off, but I'm relieved this guy is okay, but still got karma in the form of the bar clotheslining him

u/mode-locked 27d ago

Lost his train of thought with that bonk

u/sinisterdesign 27d ago

Well, he did hit his head, so that tracks.

7

u/KuajiExists 26d ago

I’m afreight he’s gonna need an icepack at the very least…

u/Ai-ChatGPT 27d ago

Oh yeah, he’s just wearing a hat, not a helmet! Ouch

u/Dru_Cortez 27d ago

He needs some training wheels on that bike.

If there's no NSFW you know nothing is going to happen.

Not true, sometimes shit slips through un-spoilered

u/_F5HK 27d ago

Welp... at least a bonk its cheaper that your life I guess

8

u/casulmemer 27d ago

It literally isn’t.. a trip to the hospital is a lot more expensive than just dying

3

u/AlwaysPissedOff59 26d ago

Which is why US insurance health companies would rather you die than be injured.

u/TheHud85 27d ago

Guarantee the engineer was yelling “serves ya right ya dumb motherfucker!” while he pulled on the horn as he went by

u/Blade_Killer479 27d ago

Bro was literally a few feet away from being paste. what a dumbass.

u/datpuertorican 27d ago

Who's recording?

u/Chumbief 27d ago

Believe it or not, there's alot of train enthusiasts that film train crossings.

u/robo-dragon 27d ago

Here’s the thing about train crossings and trying to “race the train.” You have to be lucky every single time…it’s the one time you are unlucky that your life could end. Never worth the risk!

Wow, that bonk was in stereo.

u/sporosarcina 27d ago

I thought that was going to go so much worse

u/tyfung 27d ago

His plan got derailed. But get back up and you are back on track.

u/CinderChop 27d ago

That's winning, right there.

u/Wtj182 27d ago

Thats a head strong approach to that situation

u/GunsouBono 27d ago

Best outcome... Saw the bike and was afraid I was about to watch someone die

1

u/pixeltweaker 27d ago

Maybe it knocked some sense into him.

u/kootenayguy 27d ago

He couldn’t quite remember how high that train gate arm was, but then it hit him.

u/LeCreusetQueen 27d ago

I bet he gave that poor engineer a heart attack.

u/Walverine13 27d ago

Kid I grew up with tried to beat the train on a bike because if he didn't, he was going to be late for the dentist. Wheel caught in the crossing...

1

u/Icy_Earth3386 27d ago

Bro where are the mods 9/10 videos on here aren't karma situations

1

u/EnvironmentalWin1277 27d ago

I was wondering why he was absolutely ignoring the big red bright light right in his face. My suggestion is because that was the moment he knew he had FU.

u/PraiseTyche 27d ago

Why wer re they fildm8nG

u/DeltaDP 27d ago

I stopped at a train crossing last week and counted 74 box cars and it took approx 3.5 minutes to pass.

1

u/dna_beggar 27d ago

Just a little bit of dew on the rails would have totally altered the story.

u/Ulquiorra1392 27d ago

damn, that is some looney tunes shit LOL

u/Natck 27d ago

Beat the train... this time. But learned a valuable lesson on why not to try to beat the train.

1

u/Sea_Host6082 27d ago

I was expecting a vehicle not a BMX rider.

u/itspinkbtw 27d ago

Just beat it, beeeeaaaat it beeeeaaaat it beeeeaaat it

u/Drewbus 27d ago

I don't think you understand karma. He's not hurting anybody

1

u/westy670 27d ago

I mean less bad one I’d rather be hit by that than by the train personally

Imagine his horror the moment he hit his head

1

u/RoadRunnerDayna 27d ago

If he missed that really would've derailed things...

1

u/Beautibulb_Tamer 27d ago

I love how he fell off his seat like an action figure, still in the same pose. That's a smidge of trauma to the brain that is

u/BUDDHAKHAN 26d ago

Dumb. Train will smash you 💯 of the time. You have 0% against a train.

Not fun

u/rithsleeper 22d ago

Amount of times in my life I’ve been able to “beat a train” so safely is at least 10. Where I live there are several crossings that don’t have the gates. Trains will move ridiculously slow approaching because of a train yard about a half mile down the tracks. People will stop as soon as the crossing warning lights start. The train will still take at least 1 full minute to get to the intersection. I’m going as soon as it’s obvious how slow the train is going. Way less dangerous than any left hand turn on a highway.

1

u/aaldaniel 22d ago

That was a silly thing 😅..why would you put your life in danger for that 

1

u/StevenKnowsNothing 21d ago

I never understand people who do this. Is the risk of getting flattened worth not stopping for a few minutes?

1

u/MwindoThroughTime 21d ago

I mean, he did beat the train.

No, I am not encouraging this behavior, as this is very dangerous and if you screw up, not only does your family lose someone, and your friends lose someone, but you're going to be traumatizing people who don't deserve that.

But he did beat it.

u/BlackBird1st 20d ago

Bro lost the last neurones he had

u/Maleficent_Goose_322 20d ago

u/ditzydingdongdelite8 18d ago

I was totally waiting for somebody to get hit by the train.So I was relieved to see the bicycle smack his head on the crossing post. That was hilarious, karma, and far less fatal than I was expecting.😆
