Washago is a popular summer get-away town north of Barrie, Ontario. Often cottagers find leisure by swimming and fishing around the many lakes and rivers. However, more than often people end up around Canadian Nationals railway line that runs through town, seeking the thrill of jumping off a bridge into the water below. What these people do not realize is that the line from which they are jumping is a busy mainline. In this video, a group of people are seen demonstrating pure stupidity as the train approaches. In the distance the horn of the train could be heard, prior to the trains arrival a few people stood on the Rama Road bridge. Within a few seconds the crossing gates activated, with this the engineer began to sound the horn. The first group of people jumped off the bridge, but then ( at 0:51 ) a teenager darts onto the bridge, putting his life at risk, with merely a foot or two from him and the train. Luckily he was not killed, however it was a very close miss. This video was filmed with yurysausage, thanks to him for information and allowing a stay at his cottage.
