Talk about Ironic – a German man who was mooning railway staff in a departing train got his pants caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked along the platform, out of the station and then onto the tracks.
The 22 year old, a journalism student, had shoved his backside against the window of a low slung double-decker train when staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for traveling without a ticket.
“It’s a miracle he wasn’t badly hurt,” the spokesman said on Monday. “This sort of thing can end up killing you.”
Instead, dangling by his trousers, the man got pulled along for about 200 meters, all the while managing to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train.
The ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescues services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.
The man faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting train staff and he could face a sizable compensation claim for the delays that he caused.
It looks like Karma gave him a swift kick in the seat of his pants …er almost bare behind.

Talk about bad luck!
An Australian fisherman who was bitten by a shark, in September, while trawling for prawn at sea made a mad 20 hour dash with his boat in an attempt to get to a hospital for treatment only to have his boat run aground within sight of land!
Luckily Quentin gorrell was eventually picked up by the police in a dinghy and brought to the hospital.
“We got totally bogged and could feel we were starting to go over. We couldn’t believe it, the wharf was seriously spitting distance away. It was a case of so close but so far,” Gorrell said.
Gorrell is now recovering from the shark attack in which the shark bit his hand, ripping tendons in his index finger. The bite occurred when he was untangling the shark from the nets on his prawn trawler.
“It almost took my finger off from the second joint,” he said.

Who knew “mooning” could be so dangerous!
A 21 year old Dutch man is recovering after a mooning incident that went horribly wrong.
The injured man and two others decided to run down a street in Utrecht, Netherlands with their pants pulled down as a joke.
At some point the man pushed his behind against a restaurant window and it broke! The broken window resulted in deep wounds in the mans derriere.
Owwww!
Police detained the three mooners after the incident, however the cafe owner has decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window.
