It must take a certain type of person to see things like this and not be affected.
I couldn't do it.

When my uncle first joined the police force him and his partner had to help the transport police with a train suicide.
They basically walked down the tracks looking for the bits.
They got back to the station and his partner got called away...turns out his brother had just committed suicide by jumping in front of a train.
He never went back on duty.
 
In regards to being able to do a job like that, personally I don't think I'd have any issues with it.

Let's just hope that this guys death hasn't gone to waste and some better safety measures are done.

I know a chap who used to work for Reynard (racing cars). He told me a similar story about the Greg moore (or possibly Geoff Krosnoff, I forget) fatal accident, where the engineers had to pick out a lot of the bits from the wreckage :/
 
I know a guy who knows a driver for a well established train company and was told of a driver nicknamed "Starfish" due to the amount of people who had jumped in front of his train.
I rolled about laughing uncontrollably at the time but this is obviously rather unfortunate for the driver...that kind of vision must haunt you.
 
Where's the Daily Mail to make sarcastic comments about health & safety regs? They're always attacking OHS, I'd love to see how they cope with this situation.

Bunch of ****** ********.
 
A few years ago we had a HSe circular and its still pinned up on our H&S board at work to remind people of the dangers of loose fitting harness.

SOrry forgot warning but i quite often see it on public display in any workplace which uses harnesses so i'm quite used to it.

Certainly reminds people to be careful.

In spite of the description, I still struggle to actually figure out how that happened.

Must sting a bit though :D
