"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
No, but I watched a drunk on a 4-wheeler drive straight into the side of a moving freight train at a crossing once.
I gave him a 5.0 for the attempt because his air-time and distance was impressive, but he would have scored higher if he had stuck the landing. As it was, he lost his entire right foot, having it pinched off by the train wheel(s) so he got a sympathy point.

Not me, but my dad, back in the 1940's was teaching a girl to drive and she failed to stop as the train was passing by. Tore the whole front of the car off without rolling the car over. Luckiest man alive as he told it!
Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want!
Back in the 1920s my aunt was reading as she walked along coming back from lunch in Chicago, , and walked in front of a train. (She lost her place) but 2+ years later she got out of the hospital and lived to 104.
Same here I was astraddle the third track and never saw the train on the fourth until it blew past at a high rate of speed. Would not have ended well for my favorite person

You can easily vote your way in to Socialism; but you'll have to shoot your way out.
Almost when I was a teenager, I was walking down the tracks where there was a side track for passing, a train was stopped on the side track. I heard a train off to the south, thought that I had plenty of time to get on around the next curve but I was wrong. I had to dive off the side into a bunch of blackberry briars. Aside from eating a few ripe berries it was not funny at the time.
Had a real good friend killed as he was leaving town for the deer woods on a Friday nite after we got off work. He’d just filled both fuel tanks on his truck for the long trip. Bad deal.
