limpid Posted July 1, 2015 Administrator Share Posted July 1, 2015 To die is to draw one's last breath, during which time I'd presume one is still capable of thinking. Why would you presume that? As your body is shutting down brain function is the first thing to go, being the huge energy drain that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Can everyone shut the **** up about dying today? One of the nicest days of the year let's talk about ice cream, childhood memories and artichokes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I would presume that because I didn't know that as one's body is shutting down brain function is the first thing to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityRoadSteps Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 People who stand in front of trains to commit suicide. Would they feel anything when the train hits them. Would the brain shut down that fast so as to not feel a thing. Otherwise thats gonna hurt and hurt bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 1, 2015 On a tangent. If you simply have to commit suicide (and you probably don't, but that's a separate discussion altogether) then please don't involve other people in it. It's the train driver I primarily feel sorry for in that situation. What an awful experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jumped the other day when a pebble kicked up from the road and made a small crack in my windscreen, I ducked because of it.Did the train slow down at all? Or did it not even register?

lapal_fan Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 How fast were you going? Was it as you passed through a station? I imagine it would be annoying trying to do it in the middle of no where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 We take out a fair few birds so it didn't really make me jump as such. Although a human makes a much bigger bang than a pigeon! I was doing 75 and it was on a level crossing. He jumped the barriers and dived head first into the train. I didn't really have much time to react before he hit as I only had him in my eyeline for about 4 seconds. Didn't even have enough time to swerve out the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
