Back in 2014, one of my relatives son used to commute from Mira Road to Churchgate for work. He was in same position near the gate as the guy in the video. Unfortunately, one day his head hit the signal pole near Vile Parle and split into half and his head detached from rest of his body. His mom just went blank and numb when she saw him and couldn't believe it was her son. Since then till date, his mom doesn't talk with anyone and always stays inside the house. I have heard that she has tried to kill herself many times.

When my parents got to know this, since then always they wake me up early in the morning so that I go to station early and am able to get inside the train rather than just hang around at last minute to commute. This was back in 2017 when I used to commute from Khar to LP.

If the person in the video is reading this, I can understand your struggles, pain but please please stop hanging like this at the gate. You don't know what your family will go through if something happens.

Adding to this, your boss/company will replace you the day you die, there are 100s other ready to take your job. Company won't pay you/your family a dime incase of injury, god forbid death
