Well, that's one way of doing it eh? The thought of having your head knocked off by a concrete ball might encourage you to buy a ticket.

Imagine that solution here, that would give health and safety a headache (sorry terrible pun!)

[Dave Rowland]

Evidently this solution only works on non-electrified lines - otherwise the pantographs would get a headache....

Well that is one way to stop them!!

I was hoping for a video of these things working. They look quite effective.

Now that would just be cruel.

I have a video of an incident in India, where a young bloke was walking along the top of a carriage. For some unknown reason he put up his hand and grabbed the OHL. He may have been unbalanced or not thinking.
He fell across the carriage, and after a minute caught fire!
The crowd scattered!

Yes Mickey I saw that too and pretty horrific it was. Not to be recommended for sure.

I imagine sales of crash helmets have soared recently and that would the sort of thing Japanese TV co's would have a go at or even Jackass.
