What happens if you jump in a train?

When moving with the train, the speed of the train is your speed. You are in the same frame of inertia. When you jump in the train, you do not encounter air resistance, and you usually encounter little to no force and there is no change in your speed. That's why you fall in the same place when you jump.

If everyone on the plane jumped at the same time the plane would dip slightly and then return to normal flight. When everyone is mid-jump their weight will be momentarily removed from the plane. So the plane would actually be carrying less weight for that fraction of a second and its lift would continue to be the same.

Originally Answered: If you fall on a rail-track, is it possible to survive by lying down flat in the middle of the track and letting the train roll over you? In the past, quite possibly. But these days, you're highly likely to die horribly. Modern trains have lots of stuff underneath.

So the answer is yes – it is possible to survive lying under the oncoming train, but it is very unlikely that you could survive that without a major injury. It is a good idea to stay away from railroad tracks.

Traveling Safely In fact, when you look more closely at the data, you find that bus and train fatalities occur much less often than airplane crashes. For example, in 2016, there were only 0.7 fatalities per billion passenger miles traveled on a bus versus 1.06 for air travel.

But how safe is a bus? According to the National Safety Council public transportation is 10 times safer than other vehicle travel. The NSC study found that people who used buses or trains 40 times per year were 20 times less likely to be injured in a crash. Buses are safer than most modes of transportation.
