If you really hit someone you would know they get knocked aside or end up right under you and the force when hit is NOT enough to kill anyone else, injure yah but kill no.
Also in the U.K. use of the horn is NOT permitted in stations unless of an emergency and if you watch the clip AGAIN you'll see the crew was blowing the horn.
When a train is going 90MPH you wont hear the horn until the train is on top of you, unless their using 5 chimes and in the U.K. I don't think they use 5 chimes ...
In EMS I have been on several deaths.
The bodies were bounced off the the trains at great velocity.
Even when many of the bones are broken, a body still has lots of mass and hard bones.
Had the dummy been hit, his body likely would have hit the videographer and others at 90 mph - causing lethal blunt force trauma.
Oh, now I see the second video where the horn was sounded twice, still too late.
Should have sounded before the first train was passing and covering hearing the horn of the approaching 2nd train.
yah i agree
but the crew probable didn't notice the man standing so close until they were on top of him.
just as hard as its to judge the speed of a moving train, it is for the train crews to judge peoples actions.

Was the deceasedeaf and did not hear it?
Or blind in his left eye andid not detect it?
Appears that he made no attempt to beat the train.
But if he did try to beat the train, he should not have made such attempts if he was that lousy judge of speed andistance.
