Pax Rock Train, Free Leg

[The Davy Crockett]

From this article in The Guardian:

A commuter who trapped his leg between a train and the platform has been freed after dozens of his fellow passengers pushed the carriage back.

The man was boarding the train into Perth at Stirling station on Wednesday morning when he stepped awkwardly, causing him to slip down the gap.

Passengers were asked to stand to the other side of the carriage to tilt the weight away from the man but it was not enough to free him, a spokesman for Transperth said.

“When that didn’t work, train staff got people off and gathered together enough of them to line up, 50 or so, and say, ‘One, two, three, push.’ ”

One passenger said the man appeared to be in shock but not in pain, and was lifted to safety by two other passengers once the gap widened. Paramedics treated the man but he was not badly injured and caught a later train.

I can hear it now:

"How was your commute, dear?" Asks the wife of the freed man

"Slow, but nothing special." He says.

"Now don't give me those lies! You don't have a leg to stand on!" She replies. :huh:
