Video of the Year !!!

[E6系]

Jared Frank got a rude shock when he went to take a selfie as locomotive passed by.  Standing too close to the tracks, Jared was kicked in the head by the train driver as the locomotive passed by.  I wonder where this might have been as many countries have locos with the blue and yellow color scheme.

That seems more like the shunter's foot got caught in his head rather than a deliberate kick. As far as i can see he seems to have a hard time staying on the train. On the other hand if he just moved a little bit towards the center of the train, then the guy's head would be safely moved away from the train by the protuding iron handrails and he wouldn't be kicked in the head, just hit by the engine a little bit.
