Nov-12-01, 08:27 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Crossing Safely" Just browsed your fathers website, what a worthwhile service to the community! As a child I remember seeing the results of a car which drove around the half barriers on a express line crossing in northern england. The car plus 4 people was pushed for 1 mile up the track before the train stopped. It was rolled into a ball like snow in front of the snowplough. It was the first (4) deaths I witnessed. I now work in germany and it reminds me of another problem here in Europe. My American friend was visiting Amsterdam and walking across a square and heard a bell ringing frantically, he didnt know what it was until a dutch person grabbed him suddenly and pulled him out of the way of a passing Strassebahn (tram) he'd stepped out just 6 feet in front of. As ratios of weights go the tram/human would have resulted almost certain death. Thanks Tom, I may not have a car here in Germany and be crossing railway tracks but your advice counts for S-Bahns, U-Bahns and Strassebahns and other traffic with signals separate from the cars/pedestrains.Terry Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Nov-15-01, 00:42 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Crossing Safely" He also has financial support and can do his seminars for very large groups for very cheap! He is an engineer but saving peoples lives is kind of his hobby. That is what he enjoys doing! Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
