Here is the recap:
- We are riding on a train out to the middle of no-where Austria and the stops are not marked well.
- Suddenly we discover that we need to get off the train and scramble for our bags and the exit.
- The train starts moving again (and yes, we are still on it).
- Oh, no! We are going to have to jump! (You can probably see where this is going.)
- Kim jumps off the train and onto the platform.
Bryan's Point of View:
- Kim jumped off the train and now I have to too, crap! I saw her hit the ground then she disappeared. I only have about a three foot window to look through though. At least I know that sh is on the platform.
Kim's Point of View:
- I was looking at the platform when I jumped and then I was looking at the platform from a different angle. I am laying on the ground and I am sure that I look like a turtle that has been tipped on its back. My first thought, jeez I hope that Bryan jumped off too. Then I looked up and see him standing on the platform. Second thought, WHAT THE HECK?! Why is he standing? Slight hope, Maybe he fell and hopped up really quickly.
The Reality:
- Kim has massive scabs on her elbow and shin on her left side.
- Bryan is laughing hysterically at the situation.
Lessons Learned:
- When jumping off a train... KEEP RUNNING! Bryan did because he remember that they did that in a movie once. As it turns out, it works!
- Do not jump off a train while wearing a huge backpack. As it turns out, it screws up your momentum and will throw you to the ground. Bryan did not have enough time to put his on and jumped off with his backpack in his hand. (Lucky)
- Crashing into pavement is like a cheese grater to the skin, ow.
- They make it look easier on TV (big surprise).
- Carry more band-aids if planning to do crazy stunts.
- Pay more attention in physics class from now on!
