Method Someone I know CTB'd today by jumping in front of a train. Is it really as painful as it seems?

[Iva]

So apparently he was standing in the very center of the railroad tracks. I always thought the only way to make a death by train incident fatal would be to lay your neck on the part of the track where the wheel goes so that it decapitates you instantly. But apparently he was standing in the very center of the tracks in an upright position. The first train that was moving slowly came and he was able to stop. the conductor/pilot/driver or whatever the man at the front of the train is called argued with my friend a little bit yelling at him to get off the tracks. My friend refused to get off the tracks so the driver of the train actually got out of the train and pushed him off the tracks then got back in and rode off.
Then the second train came that was going way too fast to stop. Again, he was standing in the center of the railroad tracks when the train hit him. Apparently, he got hit by the train then it sucked him underneath the train as the train was braking and trying to stop.
My question is, how painful is this method? He 100% CTB'd from this method and I'm truly happy for him. He has finally found the peace that he's looking for. His body is an absolute mess but I wonder how much pain he endured and for how long? Was it INCREDIBLY painful but for only 3-5 seconds? Or did he writhe underneath the train in pain until he slowly bled out, feeling every terrible little sensation as life left his body slowly over 10-15 minutes? I assume If the hit is oblique you may get launched and just have parts of you turned to mush.
If you get hit in such a way that you roll under the train and get divided into multiple sections, would the death be instant and painless? Would it be surprisingly bloodless because the person generally dies instantly so the heart is stopped and doesn't pump any blood out the various parts? I am now very interested in this method because I am now 100% sure that you can actually CTB from it since someone I know personally has been able to free their soul through this method.
Can one of you science wizards from this forum please give me some details about this method of CTBing?

It varies, some people are gone instantly, others survive decades with irreparable damage and everything in-between.

What country was this in? Seems like an interesting response from the railway crew, amazed your friend was able to attempt after being pushed off the tracks.

Condolences to you, may he RIP

It depends on how fast the train really was. If the train was driving at like 200 km/h, then the impact is so strong, that your friend felt something for not even a second before he got dragged unter the train.

I doubt he felt a think, it would be like jumping.

The brain would be mushed up before nerves have time to even recognise the impact.

Instant lights out, in milliseconds.

Op, I'm really sorry for the loss of your friend. Man, the methods people have to resort to sometimes...

If it's a high-speed train that's running at full speed and hasn't started breaking much before it hits you, then yes it's instant.
The undercurrent (I think it's called that?) pulls your body underneath the train as it impacts you.
It's extremely gorey, though. You probably won't have a recognisable corpse at all. I hope you didn't have to see it...

The way you describe it, it is almost certain he died instantly, in a split second, and didn't suffer.
If his body was "divided into multiple sections" by it after striking him, then it probably would've been going fast enough to be instant when it hit him.

So no, in this case it's unlikely it was painful for him.
Can never tell for sure, but from what you said I don't think he suffered.

But regarding catching the... train: It is one of the most effective and reliable methods, but it's also one of the most devastating to fail and requires a lot of planning and research.
You must choose a high-speed line and train, and you must check that it isn't running below full speed that day (for weather/maintenance reasons, etc.) And you should ensure they do not see you obstructing the line for as long as possible before they have a chance to brake.
This is my method of choice too.
The delta-v would destroy your brain on impact immediately, you wouldn't have more than a few milliseconds of consciousness before the extreme change in pressure crushes it before crushing the rest of your body.

This took place in Serbia. We don't have access to firearms over here so people have to resort to impulsive ways to CTB

And where is the correct position to stand when you await for the train to take you away? In the middle of the tracks? Or should i lay my head on the railroad tracks in hopes that it will decapitate me?

Am so sorry for your loss. I don't think any of us can say with certainly what he felt, but I hope he wasn't conscious long enough to feel any of the pain. Atleast he is now free of his sufferings. May his soul rest in peace 🕊

 

[GreyCTB]

I can't say for certain, but I think it would only hurt if you survive the initial impact. I got ran over by a car once while crossing the street and I didn't feel anything until 10 seconds or so later

 

[Tommen Baratheon]

There are known to be survivors. I don't in which state.

The main reason for me to choose not to jump in front of a car, lorry, train, ... is that I don't wont to cause my death to be the reason of long-life PTSD for the driver. (Plus, no open casket at the funeral.)

 

[Raven2]

I seen videos of people who have attempted this method and have literally been cut in half still alive on the tracks afterwards, others I've seen with limbs cut off and one someone tried to save them before they jumped and they got stuck between the platform and the train. I dont think this is a fail safe method. And RIP to your friend hope you are holding up okay ❤

In the case you describe, my guess - and it can only be a guess - is that everything was over so quickly that there was little or no pain pain. The big danger with this method is that you don't die, but are badly injured. If that happens, you can expect a lot of pain over many months or years.

which is why i fight off this envy deep inside of me. He was able to make it out of here in what seemed to be instant and painless. Those who are mourning him are only recalling the good things about him. The mother of his children is taking on all his debts with no second thoughts. They are having a memorial for him on tuesday. The people who he was beefing with are all filled with so much regret, bawling their eyes out at the thought of him being gone. It really just seems like it gets better if you succeed in freeing your soul from your meat shell. When you CTB it really is a happy ending if you can succeed!

 

[The Schizoid]

It completely depends bro

If the train connected with his head at a very high speed, it's likely he died instantly, and his body being sucked under was just what happened after.

If you get hit by a big train at even 50mph and it hits you head first, you're going unconscious immediately.

Just saw one video where impact from platform jumper was censored but no blood on the windshield. When former Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg struck & killed the pedestrian there was no blood on his car-even though the man's head penetrated to the extent his glasses landed on the passenger seat. It was explained that he died instantly & the heart stopped beating at the moment of impact, thus there was no blood pumping out.

This is reddit post:

I jumped in front of a subway train a month ago

I'm still alive. I'm missing a leg and went into a coma for three weeks. It can truly always get worse, never think otherwise.

Not sure why I'm posting this. Just want to tell people to be careful with how they choose to unalive. The permanent damage isn't worth it.

Proof since some people think I'm lying, don't mind the dirty laptop:

A lady survived the train on the news said she only felt something very hot touched her she said she didn't have any pain not so over. She lost her legs. But she wasn't on the track she was on the side none will survive this fast thing is they are fully on the track.
