Official Stance on What to do if someone Falls on the Tracks? |
|
|
Posted by E and F and sometimes J on Wed Jul 4 09:42:43 2012 I don't know what the MTA official stance is but I was having a conversation with a friend and I said that if someone falls on the platform you should immediately tell the booth clerk.My friend said you should immediately try to pull them up. Who's right? My reasoning is, that if you immediately try to pull the person up you waste critical time before the train enters the station and the third rail re-energizes and you will end up with the person being run over or electrocuted. If you tell the booth clerk you know the trains will not enter the station and you can help the person up without panic. My friends reasoning was that the booth clerk may be hard to find or unavailable and you waste precious time you could have hoisted the person to safety. |
