Meanwhile in India you can couple a train while the engineer stands inches from it and immediately gets between the two while a whole crowd watches: https://youtu.be/SSHuv_7s9TY?t=88
Sometimes we have way too much obsession with safety over here. And that's why people ignore it very often which is a contradictory effect. I was at a job site recently atop a very tall building. Technically we're supposed to harness in and all that. Do you think that always happens? Unless you're about to stand on the edge of a beam, people will ignore it. But at least we're not doing stunts like this anymore even tho that is extremely based.
Trains are extremely dangerous tho and in bad weather like that it's expected they'll be careful coupling trains. I've done freight train hopping across a bit of the country and it's wild how much sheer power trains have. When you're sitting behind a shipping container on an intermodal going at high speeds you really get a sense of what you're dealing with.
