Once when I was waiting on the platform for the train, I noticed a guy with his hands full of groceries running for another train. He was about to enter when the train door shut in his face, unfortunately, his bag of fruits got wedged in between the doors. The train left the station with the bag of fruits hanging in between the doors while the poor guy looked on helplessly.

TLDR: Train robs man of fruits.

At least you didn't get your bag stuck on your way out of the train.

[–]ariiiiigold 528 points529 points ago

If my bag were to get stuck, I would cling onto the train like space bat. I may lose an arm or get the skin on my back ripped off, but that's preferable to someone opening my bag and discovering my laptop. In reality, I would likely squeal like a little bitch and try and chase the train before realising that the train can go much faster than me.

That, of course, but also my Dora the Explorer desktop background (I'm 23) and the collection of dick art I've created on MS Paint. Hours of bored lectures = hundreds and hundreds of penises - of all shapes, sizes and colours. And as they say, give a man the means to write and he will likely draw a dick. I could delete the images, but too much work has gone in to their creation and I harbour thoughts of one day exhibiting them in the Guggenheim. If there are any curators out there, pls get in touch.

And then, while youre clinging to the outside of a speeding train, getting the skin on your back ripped off, you see someone through the window.

He looks you in the eye.

He sees your backpack stuck in the door.

He opens the zipper.

Pulls out your laptop.

And opens it.

[–]mojomonkeyfish 29 points30 points ago

In Japan (where this pic was taken), you could just leave it on the train, and it would come back to you if at all possible. The only problem would be that it would take a while, because nobody but the train conductor / cleaning crew would touch it, so you'd have to wait till it got to the police, and then...

Well, the point is, you'd 90% get your bag back with everything.

Source: Left a wallet with 70,000 yen (~700 USD) in a train station in Japan, got it back the next day with all the cash. Nobody was surprised.

[–]warbird2k 8 points9 points ago

So true.

I managed to forget my bag with a macbook on the train once. Remembered it just after the doors closed. Talked to the staff, and they called another station, and got the bag shipped back to my station. Picked it up the next day.

Another time, I forgot a small backpack on a bench on campus. I remembered that the next day when I was looking for it. Went back to the spot, and there it was waiting for me with all its contents still there.

[–]Andryu67 5 points6 points ago

I wish 70,000 ¥ were still around 700 USD...it's closer to 900 now :/

[–]MuggyFuzzball 7 points8 points ago

If I saw you hanging onto the train from the outside while your bag was stuck inside the door, I'd open up your bag as you watched through the window and start removing things. It would be glorious to see your expression.

[–]All_Hail_Mao 3 points4 points ago

Lady in Shanghai died when her arm was ripped off in the subway.

I lived in Shanghai and there was an accident in the subway when a lady was running into the subway train as the doors were closing. Well her arm made it in but she didnt. For some reason the train started to move and she was dragged and killed. So I would advise against holding onto things if it gets caught in the subway/train doors

[–]butterhead 2 points3 points ago

yeah, but it's not like she was able to let go of her arm.

Space Bat - Always Remember...

[–]Red_AtNight 1 point2 points ago

In Vancouver there are sensors that stop the train if there is something in between the outside of the train, and the platform, as it leaves the platform. It happened here about 6 months ago when a blind guy got off the train and his dog got stuck on the train... so the leash got pinched in the door.

Not sure which assholes prevented a seeing eye dog from getting off the train.

[–]payto360 1 point2 points ago

RIP space bat.

[–]Bloodhound01 30 points31 points ago

I saw this happen to someone with a cellphone.

They were wearing a jacket with it unzipped and the cellphone in their pocket. He was on the train and decided to jump out quickly for some reason and the weight of the cellphone in the jacket when he jumped through the doors stayed behind and opened up his jacket so the doors shut on his jacket, effectively making the cell-phone act like a grappling hook inside the pocket on the inside of the train. He was frantically pulling and pulling trying to get his coat unstuck and just as the train started to move a bit he ended up yanking it through the doors.

I thought I was going to see someone get seriously injured that day. I was about to go trigger the emergency stop.

[–]Jumba 14 points15 points ago

Aww too bad, I've always wanted to pull the emergency stop.

[–]TwatMobile 4 points5 points ago

[–]dexcel 2 points3 points ago

Saw that and thought "even if they hold onto their bag the whole way, that wind is going to catch that zipper any momment and their stuff is going to be decorating 40 miles of tracks soon enough"

happened to a buddy on mine on his motorcycle, zips met at the top, bombing down the highway, he said it was instanteous, stuff all over the highway once the wind got the zips started.

Whoa, TIL JanSport has a lifetime warranty! One of the straps on my bag is hanging on by threads.

[–]eugenesbluegenes 14 points15 points ago

Oh yeah, I used the same JanSport from like 6th through 11th grade. I think my mom sent it back to them every summer for repairs.

[–]pgrily 5 points6 points ago

I have the offbrand Eastsport backpack. Dark blue with the brown suede on the bottom.

Used it from 7th grade through 5 years of college and still in remarkably good shape. I used to carry all my books through highschool in it because I didn't like using my locker. The foam padding in the straps is shot and the zippers aren't in too good of shape, but it's still in one piece.

[–]molrobocop 1 point2 points ago

Dude, thanks for reminding me. Had one for years. Stout-ass backpack that never failed under nerd-loads of books.

[–]theloraxe 167 points168 points ago

This similar situation happened to me at Metro Center in Washington DC on the way to Dupont Circle from the airport.

I was traveling with a group of my students, and I was the last one on the train to make sure everyone was in. The doors snapped shut on my arm as I rolled my luggage on to the train.

I panicked. What would I do? Suddenly my instincts took over and I literally pried the doors open with my bare hands (hulk style) and brought my bag into the car as the train began moving, all while screaming expletives quite loudly. Everyone, including my students, looked on in amazement.

[–]TheMediumPanda 234 points235 points ago

It's not that hard to pry the doors open if you can get your fingers in for grip. They aren't meant to kill people you know.

[–]carlotta4th 10 points11 points ago

I thought subway doors were like elevators until one closed on my arm. And then I was like "oh. I guess they AREN'T like elevators... good thing this doesn't hurt too much" as I pried my arm loose.

[–]theloraxe 4 points5 points ago

Yes the same thing went through my head, like wait isn't it supposed to jump back open??

[–]The_Turbinator 4 points5 points ago

The only thing that went trough my head as the door closed on my torso and wouldn't let go was "OH MY GOD THIS IS IT - I AM GOING TO DIE".

[–]IntriguinglyRandom 1 point2 points ago

Chomp!

[–]ovenel 1 point2 points ago

They're like the elevators in my dorm then. The first time I realized that the sensors really don't work is when it stole my shoe. I guess I forgot about that and it then tried to steal my arm, but I got it back with no damage done. The last time that I tried to stop an elevator, it closed on me when I was halfway through; I managed to get in before it started to move. After that, I've been much more reluctant to try and stop the doors.

[–]thedudeliveson 1 point2 points ago

You've obviously never tried to pry open metro doors in DC...

[–]eck226 41 points42 points ago

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the DC Metro doors have sensors in them, if it feels something stuck in the doors, it opens almost immediately, bongs 3 times and says "Please stand clear of the doors". Been that way since I moved here in 1990, and I've been riding them almost weekly since 2005.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points ago

They do but I've also seen people pry the doors open before (trying to jump on last minute). So I don't know why that happens, but this story is believable because while I know they have sensors, I've also seen people pry the doors open.

[–]Apocellipse 14 points15 points ago

Ummm, not all of them do. I've been riding them daily since 2005 and have no idea what you're talking about, as I've never had a door open automatically. Usually they shut, hit the object and HOLD at that distance, until the conductor re-opens and closes them, usually included with some schooling or scolding on the intercom. The train won't move if its more than nylon strap thats stuck, because the sensors at least tell the conductor that the door is still open, but control is all manual. otherwise the trains would never leave a station at rush hour with all the dbags reaching for an automatic re-open as they run for it (which can't happen now, for that reason). I've had by bag caught inside a train and had to yell to the conductor to open the door or I would be there all day. There's even an intercom message that says "Our doors don't work like elevator doors" and goes on to describe the exact opposite of your description. See: http://www.wmata.com/rail/railrules.cfm FTA: "Don't...Try to block or force train doors open. They do not reopen like elevator doors."

EDIT: Added link.

[–]theloraxe 48 points49 points ago

You're right I'm lying... -_____-

Or maybe the door was defective or something? Because it happened.

[–]ArthurDirk 82 points83 points ago

No no, it happened. The train conductor can override the sensors, if he thinks that someone is just messing with the door, or if he thinks they need to leave immediately.

I've seen it close on many people, in that way.

Enjoy your bubble, again.

[–]arteryblock 11 points12 points ago

You're a nice person

[–]Sherm 2 points3 points ago

Hopefully, you didn't just stand there laughing, like the people who saw my bag get sandwiched in the doors. There were days I hated that city more, but not many of them.

[–]Type_Zero 6 points7 points ago

I would laugh, and then help. For that is the price of my help. 1 laugh.

[–]Apocellipse 11 points12 points ago

Again, there is not an automatic re-opening sensor. The sensor only senses that there's something stopping the door from shutting, so it instantly stops applying force so as not to crush whatever is in it. After that, the conductor can either wait for the object to be freed, or reopen the door manually, or if you're the incredible hulk, you can pry them, but this is hard as fuck to do. the train conductor can NEVER make the train move with an open door, unless the sensor that should be saying the door is open, is broken. They are HALT/JAMMED sensors, and do not signal an auto-reopening. thelorax has it exactly right, and must be fairly strong or lucky to have encountered a shitty door. -Daily DC Metro commuter since 2005.

[–]Sherm 2 points3 points ago

And yet, I too got stuck in them. Closed on my bag so that the door was part-way open. Doors didn't open back up. Had to yank the bag through. The people around me just laughed. God, I hated DC.

[–]MarvellousG 12 points13 points ago

The door has it pinned in position so it won't fall even if he stops holding it, is what I think he meant.

[–]abenton 22 points23 points ago

Would you let go of your bag in this situation? I would wager no.

[–]Jumba 7 points8 points ago

Consider that the bag may get stuck to something outside and shred my fingers when it's being pulled out, I'd say yes.

[–]MindStalker 6 points7 points ago

I'd still hold it lightly. As if the doors do open your bag will fall onto the tracks otherwise, but yes not so tightly I might lose some fingers.

[–]The_Turbinator 1 point2 points ago

I'd consider my fingers, forearm, arm, and my life a lot more valuable than whatever was in my backpack. As soon as that train enters a tunnel that bag is going to get snatched from his grip at what will seem like the speed of light and the force of a thousand raging bulls. I wouldn't want to be holding on the the bag when that happens.

[–]caracasa 16 points17 points ago

[–]Cyralea 9 points10 points ago

Frankly, doors give me a sense of ennui.

[–]blueshiftlabs 4 points5 points ago

Almost. The sign says ひらくドアにちゅうい, which (roughly) means "Caution when doors are opening." They're probably more worried about people leaning against the door and getting caught (maybe the doors open inward?)

[–]SuperTurtle 6 points7 points ago

Looks like he had a good chance to pry it open, he has a crack where his straps went through.

You mean he should pry the door of a moving train open, while holding the strap of his bag to ensure it doesn't fall when he starts opening the door?

A real man would open that shit up with his teeth and stare down the train until it apologized.

[–]balltongu 40 points41 points ago

If phone and iPad are in bag, then how does he picture? HOW DOES HE PICTURE?

[–]rocknrollhikeskoo 1 point2 points ago

dog does picture.

[–]rarely_heard_opinion 7 points8 points ago

It is literally going your way.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I've seen it happen the other way. Poor kid got his backpack trapped on the way out of the bus, and couldn't take it off in time before the bus started moving again. Never seen anyone run that fast sideways. Luckily for him, there were people waiting at the next stop.

I was on the tube recently, on a new train and it stopped in the tunnel because someone was leaning on the door. the driver sounded pissed, like it happens too often. seems like over safety, but its impressive.

[–]Krags 1 point2 points ago

I hate that lurch the train does when it detects it too. Damn near sends me flying every time.

[–]ytayj 1 point2 points ago

That's the train's entire braking force making its entrance.

[–]t0t0 7 points8 points ago

That's very dangerous in case the bag got hooked on something..

They should hold it in a different manner..

tl;dr Don't be afraid to pull the emergency brake when something like this happens.

[–]greenisher 2 points3 points ago

My favourite part of this is how the backpack appears to be slightly open.

[–]LupinIV 2 points3 points ago

you have the same backpack as my friend, are you my friend?

[–]LudeArtFart 2 points3 points ago

That happened once with my nut sack. As i boarded the metro and turned around I spotted an old friend. I yelled out her name and as she spun around I totally mooned her. She got all red faced and tried to ignore my yelling so I dropped my pants all the way to my ankles and began doing an air humping motion so the my cock and balls were bouncing between my ass and my belly. I didn't see the door close but it was perfect timing cause those things slapped closed right on the swing out. The hydraulics on those doors are unbelievably strong. I yelled out in pain and asked for help but no one would come near me. I grabbed a little girls arm and told her to pull me out but she broke free just as her dad uppercutted me. He must have never been in a situation like that before. I tried to reach behind me to push the doors open but couldn't get leverage. I had to ride all the way to the next station like that. When the doors opened i just fell backwards out into the crown and onto the grown. The people boarding just stepped over me as i laid there holding my junk.

tldr: Got my sack caught in the door crack, couldn't get it back, while the train rolled down the track.

Look on the bright side... You're in Japan.

[–]WashburnRocks 1 point2 points ago

Looks like it's going your way, until it gets caught on a train going the other way... then it might not be going your way... but that would depend on the destination of the opposing train (could be on a loop circuit, meaning the backpack will still end up at the owner's original destination).

“If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.”

[–]loverandfighter 4 points5 points ago

At least you get karma out of it

[–]Loerel 1 point2 points ago

I saw this happen once on the MBTA, except it was a mans full leg cast.

[–]bradders17 1 point2 points ago

Why the fuck were you taking a picture instead of attempting to retrieve the bag?

[–]Makabaer 1 point2 points ago

Because that would've been futile anyway, I guess. I bet he tried that already when taking the picture. (Or maybe I'm underestimating other people's urge to take pictures...)

[–]SamWise050 1 point2 points ago

Saw this just about happen to a woman on the metro in DC. Her backpack got stuck in between the doors, but my dad grabbed her by the shoulders and yanked her out.

[–]James1o1o 1 point2 points ago

Why do trains in other countrys never have safety mechanics?

If you had that on a train in Scotland, the door would just automatically open and the train cannot move whilst the doors are open.

[–]mistamutt 1 point2 points ago

The Japanese Shinkansen is the best train system in the world. Shit is never late, and if it is, it prints an excuse note for you to give to your boss.

[–]eamantite 1 point2 points ago

ITS JUST ONE OF THEM DAYS WHEN YA DON'T WANNA WAKE UP

[–]Milhouse_is_a_meme 1 point2 points ago

Serves you right for running towards closing doors. No sympathy for you people. Get the next train.

[–]Missunify 1 point2 points ago

Shame it's not OP's bag.

[–]ty8l8er 1 point2 points ago

[–]rauchnrawl 1 point2 points ago

I actually have no sympathy for you, I've seen this happen and it's always because some jackass can't wait 2 mins for the next one. Next time, you might get something other than your bag caught in the doors.

It's morning rush hour, trains are frequent, wait. Also, don't hold the doors for your stupid friends.

[–]tangoshukudai 1 point2 points ago

In japanese it says watch out (caution) for the door. ドアに~ちゅうい

[–]blueshiftlabs 1 point2 points ago

ひらくドアにちゅうい - watch out for the opening door? You're the one with all of the vocab homework, you tell me.

[–]tangoshukudai 1 point2 points ago

right!

[–]Atmadog 1 point2 points ago

Feelin' like a freight train. First one to complain, leaves with a blood stain. Damn right I'm a maniac, you better watch yer back cuz - I'm fuckin' up your program.

[–]triponthis 1 point2 points ago

Good at math, bad with the outside world.

[–]leftnose 1 point2 points ago

That happened to a lady here in Chicago but the other way around. Except it was her very expensive violin that was stuck inside the train with her on the outside. Not wanting to lose it, she held on and eventually got dragged under the train and lost her legs. Got a nice settlement from Metra as I recall.

[–]eeotto 1 point2 points ago

happens to me every time now i dont bring a bag on the subway

[–]savagecub 1 point2 points ago

The same thing happened to me with an umbrella on the yamanote line on my way to class. About a foot was sicking out and whacked people standing too close on the platform.

[–]belfastbiker 1 point2 points ago

fuck, then they WERE too close....

[–]Jerg 1 point2 points ago

Easiest way to mitigate this in a real situation would be to yell out to fellow passengers to hit the "emergency" button switch, allowing the train to halt. This is especially crucial in a life-threatening situation where you're not sure if you could overpower against the motorized doors.

[–]Julio3094 1 point2 points ago

Its not ops picture he's just been spamming reddit with post in hopes of front page and hey, it's working.

[–]LRP 1 point2 points ago

Bag gets stuck in doors of a train? Better take a picture.

[–]indoorinternetvoice 1 point2 points ago

I love how, in spite of the obviously stressful situation you're in, you decided to get out your camera and take a picture. Now that is real commitment to karma.

[–]bbysknnr6 1 point2 points ago

Look at it from the backpacks point of view, I imagine it sounds a bit like "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!".

[–]sleet01 1 point2 points ago

It looks like a bad case of ご注意不足 to me.

[–]Average-as-hell 1 point2 points ago

Holding onto that strap seems like a very good way to amputate your fingers should the bag get caught on something

[–]primarybelief 1 point2 points ago

There is an emergency door release lever located above every subway door. Could have used it here!

[–]Lunchbox2208 6 points7 points ago

Ah but you're in Japan, so it can't be all bad.

[–]Dimdamm 10 points11 points ago

Except for the tentacle monsters.

[–]pringle_king 3 points4 points ago

Assuming OP is a guy, they should leave him alone.

[–]Type_Zero 18 points19 points ago

Hahaha, you obviously don't know about Japan...
