re: Kid gets kicked in the head while taking a selfie

Suicide by train is not a rare occurrence. I imagine the conductor was trying to kick him away and missed his mark. I am sure it is a pretty heavy burden to carry for a conducter when they smash someone and he likely thought trying to kick the guy away was the prudent move. People get smashed by trains with great regularity and I imagine numerous conductors have squashed a few. I don't know where one would find statistics on such a thing but perhapsone of the guys on here that works for a railroad can enlighten us.
