イギリスではたまに見かけますが、東京に来てからはいつも見れます。人が急いでいなくても、閉まるドアを見かけたら、なぜか人は駆け込みしたくなる。面白いのは駆け込みに失敗した人の行動は殆ど同じだ。まずは体を90度にターンし、ホームの向こうへと歩く。何もなかったのように。

1995年に駆け込みしようとした人は新幹線に引きずられ死亡したケースがある。

上:駆け込みをやめよう
上:駆け込みをやめよう。90度のターンあり。

日本の電車にめぐる問題はいろいろあるのようですね。この駆け込み乗車の他に、飛び降り自殺痴漢乗車率200%など。今度の記事は老人や妊婦を見かけたら眠るふりをする若者達。

このサイトは元JALのエンジニア、アマゾンのウェブサイトマネージャー、マイクロソフトのプロダクトマネージャーそして現在MIRAI株式会社の社長ダニー・チューが書いているブログです。詳しくは彼のプロフィールでどうぞ。

    wow...possibly the first post?

    well, I "lied" in the poll
    I know of no Kakekomi Jousha, but train suicide is still popular...

    which is annoying...
    couldn't they die else where, rather than in the public?

    Isn't there a safety feature on the train. Such as if the door can't close, the train can't start? lol ....

    It's pretty amusing to see people running towards the door when it is going to close. It can be dangerous, one time I was in the subway and a person was running uber fast while the doors got shut. Annnnddd~ Kabam, since the doors has windows.... You get what I mean ;D

    Sometimes it happen to me, I usually do the 90 degree thing and start walking towards the end thinking nothings happened xD

    That second video, the guy ran into the door!

    The white sheet is very disheartening-

    I'm guilty of running for train doors, even though I know its dangerous..

    Recently we've had ads about not straying too close to the platform, lest you fall or be clipped. We don't have those walls- but a lot of stations are outside too.

    I have found myself doing this on occasion, in Taiwan they are putting up the safety doors on the platform to prevent people from being dragged by the train (or jumping infront of it).

    I've seen people rushing on subway stations here. I've even witnessed people rushing into subways running away from cops. Cops managed to stop the subway and get in too.. dunno if the criminals got caught though.

    Never heard of accidents related to those. But it probably happens... it's just that I don't know of any.

    Also, subways in Brazil are not exactly fast, so there's probably time for the... subway driver(?) to realize there's something wrong.

    On my trip to Japan I saw several times Kakekomi Josha... companies are too strict about getting late to work, and it's pretty normal for people to get late. So I kinda understand why people do that.
    Commuting usually takes a long time too.

    But I never do stuff like that. You can never be too careful while boarding on trains and subways.

    I saw that quite frequently in Japan, the conductors in the back train were looking out for those who were kakekomi josha wouldn't end up like that guy. I myself had my shoulders slammed on by the doors when I rushed to board a subway in Hong Kong lol, I learned to wait it out from now on.

    I tended to go like that a while ago (when I still was living in Paris), considering the awful amount of time between trains. It included a crazy run, a long jump and some ninja-style landing... Yes, really insane of me.
    But I never did that when the train signal was on...
    I valued my life back then and I do even more now... Even if this means being late. The purpose of me taking the train is different too now (going to school vs. visiting my family)

    60 million yen don't replace a life that was ended by rush and foolishness (forgive me for that choice of words, but it's the truth).
    I just hope this accident made train designers think of more safety-related materials and mechanisms.

    animes, you should consider the possible delays you can cause by doing this. It can be fairly common practice around the world (I have seen that much often in Paris too), and it is also recognized here, to the point that you can get $500 can. dollars for this altruistic but undesired move.

    -Sorry for this long rant-

    I tended to go like that a while ago (when I still was living in Paris), considering the awful amount of time between trains. It included a crazy run, a long jump and some ninja-style landing... Yes, really insane of me.
    But I never did that when the train signal was on...
    I valued my life back then and I do even more now... Even if this means being late. The purpose of me taking the train is different too now (going to school vs. visiting my family)

    60 million yen don't replace a life that was ended by rush and foolishness (forgive me for that choice of words, but it's the truth).
    I just hope this accident made train designers think of more safety-related materials and mechanisms.

    animes, you should consider the possible delays you can cause by doing this. It can be fairly common practice around the world (I have seen that much often in Paris too), and it is also recognized here, to the point that you can get $500 can. dollars for this altruistic but undesired move.

    -Sorry for this long rant-

    Read fined $500 canadian dollars... What a mistake I did on expressing my thoughts.

    @animes (again): I have to add I did what you wrote some times in the past (to help others) and I think I changed my mind for the better on this subject since then. This practice should not be encouraged, even if you are then seen as an egoistic brute.

    I watched someone do that in Vancouver, he would've made it too if he hadn't tripped and smashed his face on the window. He rolled around on the ground for about a minute clutching his head and swearing while the train slowly started up and left.

    Kakekomi Philippines version happens everyday; mostly during the rush hour. Unlike what I saw in the video where there aren't much people in front of the doors, people crowd in the platform most of the time and they squeeze in packs close to where the door would stop one the train's coming in. At this point, one would suffocate from body heat. Kakekomi (Phil. version) also causes delay and train problems, which lead to more Kakekomi actions in the next train stations/platforms.

    Would you believe there is no public transportation in Arizona.. there are a couple buses, but I have literally never seen anyone on them, .. except the driver. No subway, as the water out here only penetrates 1' into the ground, then the rest becomes rock solid. Lots of cars though!

    Aaah, reminds me of my high school days.

    Running to catch the train/tram along with my fellow classmates, holding the door open forcefully for other comrades to board the train/tram, laughing at the ones who didn't make it, laughing harder at the ones who decided to climb onto the back of the train/tram and hitch a ride... actually taht was pretty dangerous too o_o;

    I can't say I ever heard of any fatal injuries from being caught in the doors tho.

    Aaah, reminds me of my high school days.

    Running to catch the train/tram along with my fellow classmates, holding the door open forcefully for other comrades to board the train/tram, laughing at the ones who didn't make it, laughing harder at the ones who decided to climb onto the back of the train/tram and hitch a ride... actually taht was pretty dangerous too o_o;

    My country has a different case: People trying to enter the subway before the doors are opened.
    People are having a hard time getting out instead.
    "Just stand away from the doors, you people!!!"

    In my country, the trains don't even close its doors, people just hanging out of it while holding each other, because its way too full. If theres not enough space inside, people climb on top of the train to sit.

    There's couple of accidents involving the people getting smashed when train going into tunnel or simply loosen their grip and leads to death.

    Hehe, I kinda do it myself when rushing towards a tram that's about to leave, pressing the button to open the door, but it's already too late.
    Many people do it, but I've never really seen people forcefully keeping the door open.

    In Hong Kong, the MTR (the subway company there) have retrofitted all the old underground subway stations with platform screen doors to prevent people from jumping or push off.

    All the new stations come with it. Even the new KCR West Rail got them now. It seems like all indoor/underground stations got them now a days.

    Also all the trains have sensor on the door way to detect any movement and abnormal bumps (fingers).

    But to do this for the entire subway system in Japan or at least big city will be really expensive.

    gusgus, if it was only a matter of two minutes (how great would it be if it was like that everywhere!), I guess this behavior wouldn't even happen, except for those with "each second counts" policy or people who want some potentially deadly thrill.

    I definitely want to say that your idea of "two minutes" trains are an utopia. I have never seen such a functional train system in my life. Or you'd have to show me where we can find it.

    ...And yes, modern societies have made us so stressed and conscious of time that we get crazy for the smallest things, including the time intervals between trains.

    When I was younger I watched dubbed anime all the time.But now I do prefer the original japanese with subs.I havent totally given up on dubs yet.It really depends on how they dubbed the anime.The voices have to match the characters personality.The resent Higurashi dubb to me is horrible!And when I watched the Haruhi dub I felt betrayed somehow.I buy anime dvds released in America and watched the subbtiled version of it and lend it to my freinds who cant watch it online.

    We indeed have this in Washington DC Metro too. It’s the biggest meanness to train doors too. Older train’s doors get broken and either won't close or open after someone dose something like this. Only thing metro does is remind people that metro doors will not open if they strike an object, I see a lot less of this so maybe people are learning.

    Also, you will enjoy this. I got on a train and there was a very pissed off guy there who got off the train. It turned out that guy was kakekomi and got in, but his hand that was behind him with a bagg did not, his hand got stock and he dropped his bagg. People tried to help him get his hand in, but could not, so they tried to pull emergency stop and that thing fell apart. LOL talk about bed luck, emergency break broke as well. The they were able to get him back in, but he was very angry and cursing.

    posted. same in Belarus (where I was born in Eastern Europe). They are very sticked about the lines. We have white line that if you cross, there will be a louder women voice saying "GET AWAY FROM THE LINE NOW" and been embraced since she is talking about you, you will. I rarely heard of accidents on metro back there. However when I was in Moscow, I did get caught in the doors lol, just closed as i was in the doors, good thing they open. ^^

    My Mom is a paralegal in Washington D.C. and says people do it all the time. They get their briefcase stuck or make the door continuously open because more and more and more people come onto the train. The doors have motion detection though so it usually stops closing when someone passes by preventing harm to people. But sometimes little things like bags and briefcases don't get detected and get stuck. They also have the person saying "PLEASE MOVE AWAY FROM THE CLOSING DOORS".

    Didn't read through 50+ comments, so don't know if anyone mentioned it yet. This is translated into "Don't Charge the Doors" in English. I remember seeing someone slam into the glass pane between the platform and the train while I was staying in Hong Kong.
