The Pole traveled 500 km outside the French TGV. The machine can drive 300 km/h
The TGV train can accelerate to 300 kilometers per hour. This was not discouraged by the daredevil, who decided to ride a “gap” with a super -fast machine. He traveled outside the composition for 500 km.
The French TGV (“Train à Grande Vitesse”, or “high-speed train”) went from the capital-Paris-to the city of Valance (southeastern part of the country). This route has several hundred kilometers.
At the first mentioned station, between the last wagon and the rear locomotive, there was a passenger who turned out to be a Polish citizen. Railway workers only found out about his presence here at the second station, in Drôme’s department.
Crazy Pole’s journey. He caught the TGV wagon. The train is able to develop a speed of 300 km/h
The Pole was noticed by ticket controllers. The incident demanded notification of services – railways and police. The 40-year-old did not want to give his identity. Soon, however, it was established that this is our countryman.
The incident can be considered crazy, but harmless, and even fun, but the crazy journey did not end well for a man. He suffered hypothermia-a situation where human body temperature drops to 32-24 degrees Celsius. There are several degrees of phenomenon – mild, moderate, heavy and leading to imminent death. Symptoms of hypothermia can be chills, weakness, concentration disorder, cold hands and feet, but also a decrease in pressure, speech disorders, slowdown and heart rate, loss of consciousness, possible arrhythmias, and finally cardiac arrest, lack of visible vital functions and qualification for immediate circulatory and preservative resuscitation. Prolonged cold can also cause frostbite limbs and put doctors before a difficult decision to cut the fingers, and even legs or hand.
The Pole was taken to a nearby hospital – informs the Regional ICI (belonging to the public broadcaster – Radio France), which described the incident. Other media – such as the France portal – which cited the statements of public transport employees, indicated that the event was a “miracle”. The man was not only threatened by deep hypothermia, but also a fall (which at such high speeds would be synonymous with immediate death) or the opportunity to become crushed between the wagon and the locomotive (the place he took was very tight – explained one of the gendarmes in a conversation with the daily “Le Parisien”).
What prompted the 40-year-old to such a stupid act? It is not known. One thing is certain – he was very lucky.
