Physical Risks
Fact 1
The most likely result when someone is hit by a train is permanent injury.
Fact 2
Some people who are hit by a train are killed.
Fact 3
It is not just trains that can cause a risk to a person. There are other hazards like overhead power lines which can cause an electric shock. Overhead power lines for trains can be 1500 volts or 25 000 volts (25 kilovolts (kV)) – how many times a normal power point is that?
