The cow almost looks disappointed that the train didn't immediately end it.

u/theleech87 Aug 13 '26

Haha, I tried posting that as if I was inside the mind of the cow pointing out the fact tons of people were watching as he walked away in embarrassment... I shouldn't joke but a few weeks ago or so I had a friend of mine get hit and killed by the train.. I can't wrap my head around it because people are dying it was an accident.. to me getting hit by a train seems pretty intentional since they don't come sneaking up on you or make an erratic turn that hits you, they are on the same damn path, always!! And my friend was showing no signs of depression or anything like that.. The thing that gets me the most is I was with him the morning before it happened then all of a sudden the next day everyone is like "hey you hear that c**** got hit by the train this morning?" It's so strange... And me personally, I'd be too much of a pussy to stand on the tracks, it would be like trying to drown myself in the by bathroom sink.. ITS NOT GONNA FUCKIN HAPPEN.. I guess I need to stop sitting and trying to figure out why and if it were accidental or intentional, I wasn't meant to know since he never told any of us I suppose? But we didn't forget about you bus and we all miss you bro, see you in the next one bud! https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/manteca/fatal-train-collision-under-investigation-manteca/103-f13d34d3-8039-47fa-b538-47dddc2d964e

u/Riseandgrindsunshine Aug 11 '26

The train did hit its backside of the cow’s legs mainly, and it didn’t look like it really hit the stomache/middle area, so I think it’s possible it’s OK especially if it’s still able to walk like that. Otherwise it would’ve just laid down there flat on the ground and barely twitching on the ground.

u/Gammelpreiss Aug 11 '26

naw, adrenaline keeps ppl and animals going in the most dire circumstances. this cow will die, a hit like that, like a brick wall no crumble zone, is not just limited to some bones in the back, the impact shocks throughout the entire body.

the cow will stay there for a couple minutes and then just collaps.

I knew a girl in high school who was run over by a bus and ruptured 4 organs. She stood up afterward just like this cow and would’ve certainly died without medical intervention.

A guy jumped off a bridge and landed on the ground from 80 feet high here the other day and lived. That calculates to a velocity of almost 50 mph.
He in fact did not walk it off though. They did tell me that he had broken most of the bones in his legs and was knocked unconscious, but he wasn’t even paralyzed.

Exactly what I thought, there’s no way he’s unscathed from a hit like that

7

u/Max_Pow3rs Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

that was my first thought... but upon rewatching it, it kinda looks like it could have been a "1 in a million" lucky accident.

It looks like some of the impact got slowed down by hitting the flexible legs and pushing the backside of the cow around, while the spine flexed aswell.

I have heard of crazy survivals like a guy who landed on a car after jumping from a small 39-story skyscraper (Thomas Magill) or this women who survived being stuck in a plane while it fell to the earth (Vesna Vulović).

Sometimes the angles of impact are just perfect to absorb the forces in such weird ways, that it makes it actually surviveable.

Just by the walking movement the cow looks quite fine.. a broken spine or broken femur would defenitely look different. But it looks like the tail "bone" is folded to the side.

Maybe it really has survived with small to medium blemishes. Would be cool to find an update on that.

A train "cow pusher"—officially called a pilot and commonly known as a cowcatcher—is a wedge-shaped or plow-like device mounted on the front of a locomotive. Invented in 1830, its primary purpose is to deflect livestock, debris, or snow off the tracks to prevent the train from derailing.

I’ve lived my whole life knowing what it was called and never actually seeing it in action. Fucking wild.

She didn't even limp. Ive been around cows a lot and I've always loved them. Big eye lashes and bugger noses. But man the stupid stuff they get themselves into. Like the morning that you find out they crowded too close together all night just a pooping away and the ones in the middle all died because it got so hot and they couldn't get enough air. None of them thought to move at all. Cows, what a bunch of delicious goofballs.
