You weren't like those people that walk along the tracks with their headphones on and the volume crancked?
Agree 100%! Trains are insanely dangerous and powerful. How powerful? I remember hearing about a lawsuit years ago against someone who got smoked by a train. Apparently, this dude had headphones on and was illegally crossing tracks at a station. Express train comes in and plows him. The force of contact was so severe that it literally dismembered him, and one of his limbs smashed into someone, who broke their leg. They sued the family over medical expenses because the dude was doing illegal shit at the time....Think about it. Dude is torn apart by the train, and his limbs had enough force to break someones bones 50 feet away...
Oh, found a story about it:
Woman sues family of teenager killed by train - after she was injured by his flying body parts
Hiroyuki Joho, 18, died when he ran in front of a 70mph Amtrak train at Edgebrook Metra station in Chicago in 2008. His severed torso hit a commuter on a neighboring platform.

Mmmmmmmm dinner. Is donkey meat any good?
Purely anecdotal reasons here:
1. You cannot smoke on trains but it is very normal for people to open the car doors and hang out beside it while they smoke. Also several Indian movies and many popular ones have the hero singing while hanging out the door and people tend to try it.
2. Many villages small towns do not have very well monitored raily crossing. I have seen people completely disregard the gates and try to take their motorbikes or bicycles through the gate because they don't see the train yet.
3. People are being stupid I guess.
Generally trains do not get this overcrowded. Especially because most cars are reserved seating and the train ticket checkers would kick you out or fine you if you don't have a proper ticket.
Indians and following rules is a constant struggle. People have the attitude of I know what I'm doing usually despite the rules being in place for their safety.
I'm curious on how he got up there...doors and hatches should be locked, shouldn't they?
