What does really kill people they throw thereselves into the London Underground train's tracks?????

Question

MIND THE GAP!!! And if you dont and drop your self in there; What happens? Once I was waiting for the train at Knightsbridge's Tube Station a friend of mine he accidentally drop his watch in the tracks. We where thinking how to get it out but it didnt seem easy. He was about to go and get it but i stopped him just in time and said no dont jumb maybe the tracks are electrified and kill yourself for that stupid watch. He didnt argue, so we left the watch in peace and we get into the train. I didnt really know about the tracks if they are charged with electricity or not but certainly i wouldnt want to find out that moment with my friend, but if not........? He stated that it was an expensive one!!!

Answer 1

good question! i think you can get live rails because i think ive seen signs saying danger of electruction at stations before. best not to risk it , good job you have a good head on your shoulders or your friend could have been really hurt!

Answer 2

They are electrocuted or hit and die from massive trauma or being sliced up like salami in a deli.

You were correct.  No watch is worth that much.

Answer 3

the third biggest one is the electricity one. if a train was coming when he fell in, he would have to hold on to the side to prevent from being sucked under the train

Answer 4

You did a very wise and good thing.  Remember that in case you drop something valuable in the future.  Trains come through pretty often and he may have had difficulty getting back onto the platform. Let your friend whine about the watch if he will.  You can smile knowing that he is able to whine because of you.
