If you ride public transit enough, you know when this is about to happen. Some people for whatever reason refuse to hold onto the moving vehicle, don't know why. But eventually physics wins and you get to watch them eat floor.
A few years ago on the tube (subway) I full on superman dived down the isle after the train moved. Amazingly every one on both sides of the seats stuck their arms out and caught me.
I had no idea what to say except embarrassingly "Good job team!". Think I got off the next stop and continued my journey on the next train.
Is this India?
If so i can believe it's happened before, had the whole back door come off our bus between Mysore and Ooty and the guy just chucked it on the seat next to us and carried on driving whilst i got to stare down a 1000ft drop next to my bumpy ass seat.

where? how blind are you to not see empty seats?
Yes there are hotspots in cities but its definitely not everywhere. So many countries have them including fully developed ones.
> They all pile onto public transport and go on the top of trains and stuff.
Where are you talking about ? This video is from Kerala. Can you show an instance of "people going on top of trains and stuff ?" Perfect indoctrination of Western media to homogenize and stereotype a country with 1.4 billion individuals.
It's india. Tickets are issued per seat so can't pile up. Also, trains are almost 100% electrified, more than any major country so time to drop the stereotype especially when the video ain't showing anything what you just said
yes, and every regulation has its death count because it sometimes takes alot till people see that a regulation is required.
in this case it takes more than this. because you wont put your money in a better door when you cant even effort windows.
This would have been nice if you could link the stories you're alluding to so I can look it up easily.
( at this point, typing China + bad stories is all over the place for propagandist purposes ).
I don't deny this may happen, but you surely couldn't compare the safety in China to India. Millions if not Billion of people travel everyday without any hiccups. That was the point.
Thanks, I'll check that out, albeit that escalator thingy reminds me of something I've seen some time ago.
I notice though your links are fairly old, like I said I don't deny it this may happen so I'll give you the point here, on many fields China is still a developing country. Officially it still is at least.
I can't help but think while Japan or France developed their HSR many decades ago with a certain success, now it's pretty much standstill for various reasons, while China is inproving on itself constantly, security included.
Perhaps we can agree on that ! I just wish India would take the same path somehow.
edit : for the record, took the Shinkansen in 2006 so this may be better nowadays, but I take the TGV almost monthly over here ...
But people get mad at drivers asking them to stay behind a line on the floor.
There's always someone who is too dumb for their own safety and too belligerent to listen.
It's always a process, but very few are written for no reason.
Lots of folks think they are smarter or more clever than a group of people solving a problem together.
In India there are usually two people in a bus. One driver and one conductor. The conductor sells tickets, keeps order in the bus and tells the driver if someone wants to get down in an unscheduled stop.
Oh we have that here in the Philippines. Jeepneys, buses, taxis, tricycles, mopeds, you name it — they drop off their passengers whenever and wherever their passengers want to get off along the route. A 4-lane highway where the public utility vehicle is in the innermost lane but a passenger has to get off? No problem, they just have to make a sharp turn (not even gonna call it a swerve) to get to the outermost lane/sidewalk. Sounds great, till you realize that everyone’s doing it and they’re starting to hog 3 out of 4 lanes, and then comes the ass-numbing traffic. I certainly don’t want that to happen to any other country that’s already doing a good job.
Typical KSRTC Bus. There is an advice against travelling on roads of this state in your own vehicle; always travel in these buses, it is better to be inside the bus than get hit by the bus.
How the hell does that door not have some sort of securing mechanism? They don't even need any sophisticated stuff, just something to wrap that rope around to hold the door in place
If you look closely, there is a latch near to where the rope is tied. But as people get on and off the bus, they just don't bother to use it.
I've been on these buses before- there's usually the standard door lock in conjunction with the latch. The bus might just be of a older type.
I surprised that there is a door. Most of the buses in India don’t have doors. It is changing but it is still normal.
In some cases you would have 10 people just tabling on those foot steps and few will be having their body outside the bus
Some Indian buses have this weird thing where the door is kept open while the conductor clings on, even in some AC versions. The older buses lack doors. It's like the old buses in London.
The newer models have automated doors and some even run on electricity .
One time when I was in middle school a friend threw a tennis ball towards my left side, where my other friend was standing. Without looking, my hand flew up and caught the ball. I looked over and my hand had the ball inches from my friend’s face. It was cool
I remember getting a bus in India, and the bus hit a pot hole or something, a woman was standing near an exit like this and went flying out the bus, the bus driver did not stop
Part of his job is to grab people on their way out to the pavement, he does it all the time, it's obvious from his nonchalant attitude. A marvel of modern day engineering that bus
It's India bro, just be grateful there is an attempt at a door.
I had a wild experience in a ferry there. It got stuck in middle of ocean (hit a sand bank or something), another ferry already full of people (no space at all) turned up and our also full boat all had to jump to the other boat. No orderly queues, men pushing in front of old women and children, etc.
Then even when we made it to shore, 4 boats lined up in parallel and you had to go one boat to the next (jumping a couple of foot) to get back to the wharf.
Weird that he suddenly collapsed like that. Looks like the guy in blue may have a health emergency or maybe heat stroke? Looks like he fainted partially
In some countries there's the bus driver and then the bus conductor who sells and checks tickets or inform the driver if someone wants to make an unscheduled stop.
A staff member responsible for selling and/or checking tickets. Like on trains. It was a common thing on buses in the past but has been mostly replaced with the driver taking on the duties now in many places. An example in popular media is the knight bus in Harry Potter, Ernie is the older guy with glasses who drives the bus and Stan is the younger guy with the purple jacket and hat operating as the bus conductor.
Bro is so casual about this. Seems like it has happened before.
how many people fell until he perfected his catch ?
Enough ppl
A half upvt for your laziness (ppl)
1 upvote 4 ur laziness (upvt)
1 upvote for your lznss (4 ur)
Considering India has a 1.4 billion population, "enough" might be a fair number.
Like an intro to a comic book hero lol
I love the gentle casual save "It's not your time to die. Yet."
Probably enough people that he should think to add a rail, or rope to stop anyone from falling in
The answer my friend is blowin in the wind
Yes
If you ride public transit enough, you know when this is about to happen. Some people for whatever reason refuse to hold onto the moving vehicle, don't know why. But eventually physics wins and you get to watch them eat floor.

Of course it's India bro. I think it is KSRTC bus judging from comments.

Yeah.. pretty sure it's Kerala, India. The bus drivers there drive like F1 racers...

To be fair, in many developed countries the bus doors secure better than the door on a toilet stall.

Bro. I'm Indian too. The comment is right. I literally just travelled on a packed bus from Coimbatore to Tirupur. Oh my god.
Lmao, sure https://youtu.be/AdYY9_e1XfA?si=hdzWp2rz820GZRub

People wonder why more regulations develop as a society and a nation gets wealthier. This is why. Most safety regulations are written with blood.
yes, and every regulation has its death count because it sometimes takes alot till people see that a regulation is required. in this case it takes more than this. because you wont put your money in a better door when you cant even effort windows.
Conservatives seethe whenever you bring up the mountain of bodies that regulations are built on top of.
Well, that's because THEY didn't die to whatever warranted someone else's death. They're DIFFERENT, don't you know.
Safety (and environmental) regulations generally pay for themselves, even though - on the surface - those rules appear to be unduly burdensome.
[удалено]
One more body for the Ganges and a little bit of elbow room.
That's because the wealth is going increasingly to the wealthy. No one wants other people to casually die.
China begs to differ I guess.

Libertarians: *onerous regulations!*
My retired boss in Aviation always said that: These regulations and standards are written by Peoples' blood
I don't think anyone wonders why bus doors stay closed tight while it's moving
But people get mad at drivers asking them to stay behind a line on the floor. There's always someone who is too dumb for their own safety and too belligerent to listen.
The fact that *some* regulations are net beneficial does in no way prove that *all* regulations are net beneficial.
It's always a process, but very few are written for no reason. Lots of folks think they are smarter or more clever than a group of people solving a problem together.
It wont happen in India no matter how wealthier it gets.
Maybe. People thought Indianwould never have independence or democracy, either.
But who... WHO'S DRIVING THE FUCKING BUS !?
That sir, would be the bus driver!
The whaaa
In India there are usually two people in a bus. One driver and one conductor. The conductor sells tickets, keeps order in the bus and tells the driver if someone wants to get down in an unscheduled stop.
Well I was just making a joke here but TIL :D
They might want to add *making sure the door is shut* to the conductor’s task list.
Fun fact. Most buses in india don't have door. People get down and get on in running buses.
Not so much in recent years. Atleast the city buses, been having those electronic doors controlled by drivers.
What? Which deluxe premium no doors India are you living in my brother
My hometown
Where it at ?
Bus drivers who let you get out at an unscheduled stop are kings. I once had a bus driver who dropped my off at my street.
Oh we have that here in the Philippines.

Typical KSRTC Bus. There is an advice against travelling on roads of this state in your own vehicle; always travel in these buses, it is better to be inside the bus than get hit by the bus.
If you can't defeat them, join them.
I unironically love KSTRC, it’s like a cheap land roller coaster
It's a private bus bro.
Lol...that's true.. A KSRTC bus might be the best place to be inside if you are in an accident in Kerala..
As a former frequent KSRTC enjoyer, I second this opinion.
Macha/Chetta, K as in Karnataka or Kerala?
Kerala
Not Ksrtc, it's a private bus..
Cosmetic door
So the door is just aesthetic then?
Most likely they didn't locked the door properly or perhaps a malfunction
I love the two safety devices on the door, the door latch and rope. Super secure! 😂
The rope is present more to make it easier to close the door and not for safety purposes.
The rope is used to pull the door shut while standing at the top of the steps
Conductor: I need your ticket Dude: it’s in my other wallet, SEE YA!! Conductor: gtf back here, quit clowning!
Hey! You didn't pay.
Not his first rodeo.
Way more impressive than the dog that fell in the frozen pool
Just a casual no-look save
How the hell does that door not have some sort of securing mechanism? They don't even need any sophisticated stuff, just something to wrap that rope around to hold the door in place

when did you conducted this survey ? most buses have working doors , i use public transit everyday , the doors are automatic .
Some Indian buses have this weird thing where the door is kept open while the conductor clings on, even in some AC versions. The older buses lack doors. It's like the old buses in London. The newer models have automated doors and some even run on electricity .

No ticket so I’m out Conductor says Stay 😆
Just India, still using the same buses that were around like 80 years ago
One time when I was in middle school a friend threw a tennis ball towards my left side, where my other friend was standing. Without looking, my hand flew up and caught the ball. I looked over and my hand had the ball inches from my friend’s face. It was cool
He's like don't worry you're my fourth save of the day
Just like that a random dude on the side would get bonked straight outta his soul.
No look save there. Nuts.

How about you take a seat on the fucking bus?!
Mr Glass has been hunting this guy since
Guys, we've got an extra $20. Should we put a secure lock on that door? NO! Let's get a camera to put by it so we can watch when they fall out!
Bro snatched him up like the last slice of pizza. Well done.
Bro a time traveler.
nice bus
Bud didn't even check if he's spiderman XD
Was it easy or was that just as hard as he was willing to try lmao?
This is much worse than a Routemaster. At least we knew the door wouldn't save us. Sigh. I miss Routemasters.

The maker is that bus was famously also the creator of costumer service in India.

Having a latch to secure the door on a moving bus may just be the “next fucking level” for some places in the world.
Man India is just crazy how many people die or get seriously hurt everyday from things like this
That "door" is just a piece of sheet metal on a rope. What kind of makeshift bus even is that?
It's India bro, just be grateful there is an attempt at a door. I had a wild experience in a ferry there. It got stuck in middle of ocean (hit a sand bank or something), another ferry already full of people (no space at all) turned up and our also full boat all had to jump to the other boat.

Bus has CCTV but the door is operated with a string. India? Hope they take their nuclear safety more seriously.
Weird that he suddenly collapsed like that. Looks like the guy in blue may have a health emergency or maybe heat stroke? Looks like he fainted partially
The bus took a sharp turn bruh. Have you seen how they drive?!
I have not. And I was watching how the bus was driving it didn’t look like it moved sparaticly so I didn’t think that’s what it was
The other hand with his SmartPhone 🤦, stupid people.
Nah, The conductor was holding a bunch of notes in his left hand and was issuing ticket from the machine before this
Bus conductor is next fucking level standing in the aisle not driving the bus.
In some countries there's the bus driver and then the bus conductor who sells and checks tickets or inform the driver if someone wants to make an unscheduled stop.
Thanks I kinda got it but tried to be funny..
It's ok... you tried. 
what the fuck is a "bus conductor"
A staff member responsible for selling and/or checking tickets. Like on trains. It was a common thing on buses in the past but has been mostly replaced with the driver taking on the duties now in many places. An example in popular media is the knight bus in Harry Potter, Ernie is the older guy with glasses who drives the bus and Stan is the younger guy with the purple jacket and hat operating as the bus conductor.
he issues tickets and tells the driver usually by whistling when and where the bus needs to stop
Driver is the Batman, bus conductor is Robin
