Why is it so dangerous to walk on train tracks?

1.89K views

I have heard many stories of people getting hurt or even dying on train tracks because they were hit by the train. Aside from obvious intentional damage that someone wants to inflict on themselves, what makes it so dangerous to be walking on them? You can see the train, it makes vibrations, there are so many signs that are around that a train is coming, couldn’t you simply walk out of the way?

Also, I was raised by me father (whose family was in railroads) that rails are so smooth as to be slick, and some people have slipped on them and broken a let on the rails.
