How bad is it really to hop a train?

it may be effective but i've heard how much of a hazard it is to other people, would suck to bring more people into this

I don't think it's physically going to hurt anyone. But the driver and anyone who sees/has to clean up will probably get pretty messed up mentally.

right, i assume derailing the train is nearly impossible

It seems too risky to me because you could not die and having horrendous consequences but at the same time when i see these huge high speed trains i think how can i not die

Yeah, I think if it's an underground/subway or something pulling into a station you still might well die, but not instantly and possibly not for days or longer (or you could survive in a way that you wouldn't want). But if it's a train that's not stopping for 5 miles you'd have basically no chance of surviving and it'd take a small miracle for your head not to be done on impact.

How fast would the train need to go in order for you to die? is 90-120 km/h enough for you to die? Or would it require something faster?

i know stations in which high speed trains pass withouht stopping and they still go at a great speed, tecnhically just jump withouth staying on the tracks would do the trick but i saw too many videos of people cut in half by the train and not dying, even that famous gif of the indian man who was doing a selfie with the train coming, he's not dead apparently

I would be more worried about not being successful, as others have commented.

But screw the other people impacted. If society is denying us a humane way to go, relegating us to so much fear and anguish just to CTB, then society deserves all that and more.

I want to have a simple drink so I can die in my bed and fall asleep peacefully.
