Would i die instantly if a train ran over my neck

[tatomuck]

What is death like? What happens? How fast would i die if a train ran over my neck.

attempts to ask dead people this question have proved fruitless. You would die instantly unless it was some sort of bridal train.

i will attempt to conduct a useful investigation into this, I will send a questionnaire to all people that have recently been killed in just such a way.

Doubt the response rate will be high enough to form a conclusive theory though.

No wonder you can't sleep. If you were to put your neck over a rail and the train went over it you'd be decapitated and die instantly. Any feeling would be gone within one second as your blood pressure is gone, although the brain may stay alive for up to one minute afterwards and can still perform automatic functions like shutting the eyes if touched.

Everyone wonders what death is like at some stage so please don't get too unset about it.

You would die instantly, thought the train driver would probably die a slow and painful death over many years as a result of the stress caused by a selfish act of suicide.
