Not defending stupidity but newer light rails are quiet.
JJ2078
That isn't Australia... first off, Australia DOES have gates.

Auckland Transport! So not Australia
BlitzballEnthusiast
Even with gates people are still finding a way to be idiots. Source : saw a girl die crossing with headphones and texting even with tunnel
ZachariahNelson
SHE LITERALLY HAD TO WALK TOWARDS IT BEFORE TURNING TO CROSS. DID YOU JUST MISS THE TRAIN SIZED OBJECT DRIVING TOWARDS YOU
nerdyvet
Australia doesn't have gates because if you can't survive this, how are you going to survive your environment? Darwinism.
JohannesPanagiotopoulos
there is an arrow warning to look to the left
Alexop98
Idiota
Nidis12
I like to point out that the AT on the side of the train stands for Auckland transport and Auckland is in New Zealand not Australia
Dfsme
Have checked road before. Saw car coming and still walked out nearly getting run over. Mind can play dangerous tricks on you sometimes.
outdoorswithjess
That's auckland, new zealand.. not aussie. also what a idiot its as if she ignored the sign that says look for trains and the flashing light
L3nnyj
Well you would think the flashing lights and the fucking noise would be a good give away. She's the reason gates are being installed now
DontcallmeLen
That train stopped on a relative dime.
PorkBarrelTrollitics
it was just pulling into the station. How do I know? It is my station and I saw this happen!
Chloe0o0o0o
Most stations have gates that open and close, but it's annoying. Fucking look.
Pandi66
are the flashy lights not enough? ppl need gates?
RadioZombieHazard
In my area, people commit suicide by walking in front of trains mostly in the evening to fuck up train schedules. Why not do it in the 1/2
RadioZombieHazard
Afternoon when it's not rush hour??? 2/2
Fyrebaugh
Big ole lights flashing right up there as a warning, yet doesn't even look... Somehow, now we need gates too.
sydneygirl
Australia doesn't have any gates to prevent this from happening because it happened in New Zealand. It says Mt Eden right there at the top
ChildofNyx
There's literally a sign showing which direction to look for the train and she still missed it
SuburbanCommando
The best part is that she's walking in the direction she failed to look.
ShartytheShark
There's literally a sign with an arrow that says "<-----look".
cousteau
I think it may say <--look-->, but still
uberarticuno
She couldn't spot a fucking train you think she'll notice a little sign like that? Seems like she's competing for the Darwin award.
batlrar
"Look ... oh, an opening in the fence! Thank you, sign!"
HinamilGreyworks
The special part is she was walking toward the train and still didn't see it.

Dumb ways to die... so many dumb ways to die
PeterMoyer
It is a new Zealand train. in-bound for britomart its the main train station in auckland.
Sirtopumhat
Yes it's a novelty when someone does not die from dingos, or snakes riding dingos, where when they bark they bark spiders.
snotrocketscience
They figure Australians are always on the lookout for stuff trying to kill them.
Ashley624
She was looking in the direction the Train was coming from to begin with and still missed it :S
SoMenSayThatImIntenseOrImInsane
Trains move a lot faster than people realize. 70mph doesn't seem fast when you're going 65mph next to it, but when you're walking...
Tikityler
You're not wrong but, that train was going about 14 mph (22.5 kmh).
ltsDizzyD
I think both ways should be capitalized. Not before. She looks right before she crosses, just not left.
angeldelamusica
Normally trains in NZ use the left hand track, and she's crossing the right hand track. She didn't think to look both ways!
ltsDizzyD
I'm from new orleans and there's tons of one ways. You better look both ways or you'll regret it!
angeldelamusica
I think the other problem is that where she's crossing to is the station, and then there's another crossing on the other side :S
cousteau
She looks after crossing as well.
mookiedoi360
Australia does have gates at rail crossings and secondary escape gate incase it closed before you crossed. You just dont see it
HULKSMASHPUNYGOD
Not all crossings have the gates for pedestrians, but that could just be Adelaide... we slow af to upgrade.
Bluewombat12
Australia doesn't have gates because that's New Zealand not Australia
Appel99
They are basically the same thing, just ask any Australian.
DarkStar1023
Utah doesn't have gates
nerdyvet
We have some gates like that here too. I can see one out the window right now.
Infinitrillion
Yeah I was gonna say
kiwiwannabe
Im from NZ but live in Aussie. This place has ramps over railway lines without gates exactly like that here too
IMakeGifsLookGood
This needs more points.. @op correct that shit.
KingZullu
Either way
Maelstronnar
Actually my home town has a crossing exactly like that. Source - Aussie from Victoria
StrawberryBubbleGum96
I was going to say - we have gates!
EchidnasCanSwim
Burnie Tasmania has gates just like that next to a playground. Our way of weeding out the dumb kids
StrawberryBubbleGum96
Are you a Tasmanian? If so, I have questions
EchidnasCanSwim
I am, feel free to ask away
RavennaMagnus
Most of these crossings have been removed- ramps and other walkways have replaced them
DashLeGrand
Was gunna say this looks like the one near my place then I saw the text in the corner. It is the one near my place!
4738workdamit73726
Not in south Australia
RavennaMagnus
I think you'll get ramps once you get an actual energy grid that works
4738workdamit73726
We both know SA doesn't have the money to do that, they still trying (badly) to fix our shitty roads that were meant to be completed by 2011
TheCrazy88Horse
I'm sorry but we now claim this clip, Just like Russel Crowe, Pavlova and Crowded House.
EdgarWrong
It says mt Eden at the top left of the screen. Is that a place in Australia? Although you're probably right on the three things.
TheCrazy88Horse
If it isn't, it is now.
MatterDynamic
We'll keep Mahe Drysdale and Scott Dixon. Thanks!
nonsenselovingotter

iamonlyhereforyoupeople

ALargeAgglomerationOfAtomsSuperficiallyResemblingAUser

iamonlyhereforyoupeople
