Boy Falls onto Train Tracks While Playing PSP
We’ve heard of people walking into open manholes and tripping into fountains because they were too busy texting to pay attention to where they were going. However, phones are not the only distraction we need to be careful of in this world.
A 10-year-old boy from Loreto, Milan, got a refresher class in ‘watching where you’re putting your feet 101’ when he accidentally stepped off a subway platform. Absorbed in his PSP game, the boy took one step too far past the yellow line and fell onto the tracks. Luckily for him, policeman Alessandro Micalizzi acted fast and hopped down onto the tracks to return him to safety before he suffered anything worse than a couple of bumps and bruises.
We’re assuming he won’t be suing the rail company or transit authority for not having a guardrail in place, but in these situations, you never know.

The video was funny, But I felt sad for him.

Normally I would rip into someone, but he's a kid and kids tend to do dumb things. I sure hope he is ok because it looks like he hit pretty hard. I guess he may just put down the PSP from time to time now.
do we need more legislation to keep our stupidity from hurting us?
Epic fail of the day
Technology is going to become the new darwin...
Thankfully he wasn't hurt. I'm not going to rip on him because he's a kid and not a fucking high schooler who fell into a manhole. This is a good reminder to parents that they should be careful with their kids and portable electronics though.
soon funniest home video's will show nothing but people walking, falling and crashing into stuff while using their devices..

He hit with the backpack, that absorbed the blow.
+100 @ pooflinger1
End of the world: poeple too busy with their Ipad,ipod,psp, etc kill them selfs when crashing into cars
i dont know why but this reminds me of an anime named gantz hmm... at least with a less gory outcome
Lucky for him that it was almost a case of "Evolution in action".

That would probably pushing humans even more toward the stupid end of the intelligence spectrum.
push*
That was pretty hilarious what a dumb kid, I don't take age as an excuse unless below three
Oh man I hope that PSP is OK! No seriously I feel bad for the kid that looked like it hurt. Atleast he's OK
stupid.
This is why my city has these, effective for jumpers:

haha... gotta keep one's head on a swivel in this day and age... you can't walk (easily) around with your head firmly up your arse...
maybe we should leave texting and games to anything that is not mobile... like a desktop computer!
Tip: look forward when you're walking

Protecting us form our own stupidity does NOT help, it just allows everyone to be even more stupid.
It's good to see how concerned everyone on the platform is for the kid. There was at least one person looking at him when he fell, and they walked slowly over like they were just going to see if the train was coming.
one day, back when i was in 6th grade, i was walking home from school playing pokemon red on my gameboy (this was when pokemon red was new and obviously the shit). i walked about 20 or 30 feet past my grandma's house...when i looked up and stopped, realizing that i was about 2 stops away from busy 40~50mph traffic on a major road coming right out of downtown dallas.

Ugh, this reminds me of the kid in my town who got hit by a train this summer. He was walking down the tracks with his back to the train, playing a game on his iPod while listening to music full blast, so he didn't hear the train coming. The train couldn't brake in time and ended up hitting the kid, but it sounded its horn and slowed enough to not kill him (kid got a broken leg, broken jaw, other scrapes and bruises).
The kid's parents have a pending lawsuit against the rail company for some ridiculous sum of money AND have pressed criminal charges against the rail company and the engineer. It's clearly the rail company's fault that the kid is a friggin' retard and should be up for a Darwin award.
well if this happened in the good ol USA the parents would probably try to sue the rail company or even Sony. because you know they don't believe there kids don't make dumb mistakes so it everyone else's fault
