You may have scoffed at Russia’s campaign about the dangers of selfies—Everyone knows you shouldn’t selfie with a wild animal right?—but it seems obvious warnings like that are needed to prevent situations like this one where a girl almost gets hit by a train after walking onto the tracks. No matter what you drop on the tracks, never go onto the tracks. Especially if what you drop is a hula hoop. A camera at the Flemington Station in Sydney, Australia caught the scary incident when a girl was playing with a friend and jumps down onto the train tracks when she drops a hula hoop. She’s seen trying to climb back onto the platform just as a train approaches, that’s when a passing woman rushes to help the girl up to safety and does so just seconds before the train passes, saving her life.
