I guess i can cross jumping in front of a subway off the list of suicide options

Thankfully the woman will be ok. How would you break the news to her family that she was killed by a bouncing fat man.

'Suicidal' subway bounce By FRANK ROSARIO and COLIN MIXSON

Posted: 2:27 AM, August 13, 2011 An obese Bronx man who leaped in front of an oncoming No. 2 subway in an apparent suicide bid yesterday was knocked back onto the platform where he slammed into a woman, authorities said.

"I heard a scream and then a crunching sound," said witness James Dobbin. "It was gory -- blood on the platform and on the street" below the elevated station.

Dobbin said Louis Schmulson, 42, of The Bronx, weighed about 300 pounds and was an employee of a phone store near the Pelham Parkway/White Plains Road station.

He was pronounced dead on arrival at Jacobi hospital shortly after the 2:57 p.m. incident. The woman was expected to survive.

Holy crap man. I just hope she didn't see it coming, that would have been horrific.

F him for endangering the life of an innocent bystander.

Can't even commit suicide right.

Apparently fat has many of the characteristics of rubber. It was like throwing a 300 lb rubber ball at the front of the subway - it bounced!

Good thing it wasn't a superball density or he could have hit 10-12 people before he quite bouncing.

This was the second person this week to jump into an elevated train. They are really inconsiderate. Besides the people that see them do it and all the delays they cause the track structure is open and it drips bloody goop onto the streets below. We had a driver with about 20 years on the job throw up and go home in the middle of his shift after some people parts hit his windshield.

geezus, is that a common occurrence ... and who cleans up the mess?

cause I dunno, we don't have subways around here

We have several crews of station cleaners who come around and power wash the stations. They have one of the most disgusting jobs in the company with the messes they normally clean, plus incidents like these.

Can't say I blame him

Hopefully they get paid decently to do that job..

The subway in St. Petersburg (formerly Leonnongrad) had a wall and extra doors installed in the stations next to the trains (very similar double door setup like what elevators use) so people could not jump in front of the train when it was moving.

Apparently they got tired of cleaning up too.
