And may have saved him by doing so from being struck by a less forgiving over-hanging load.

I think that could’ve broken his neck, or ,in falling, gone under the wheels.

Not enough video to determine if the conductor kicked, or was hanging his foot out. The conductor might get a safety violation for not keeping hands and feet inside the car at all times until the ride comes to a complete stop.

Either way, the photographer needs to be arrested for trespassing and any other laws applying. This was intentional breaking of the law by the photographer.

The trainman should be reprimanded for interfering with an attempted Darwinian correction.

I've yet to figure out why so many people feel they need to take pictures and videos of themselves doing stupid things.

This is a selfie trend in India, which is considered to be either the top or among the top countries for selfie deaths. 0:54 video:

And here is the study on selfie deaths that it references: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.01911.pdf

LOL, that is a correct and valid assumption!!

Because that's the only kind of immortality they can imagine.
