This guy got lucky and unfortunate at the same time

Yes, also that train came way too fast for the time the barriers were down and those barriers started going down after he got in, which means he should have had time to cross. Where I'm from, the lights start flashing before the barriers go down so people have the time to brake instead of going through. This truck could have broken those barriers but a motorcycle might not have had time to get under or move out of the way by the time the train came.

There's only 20 seconds between the time the barrier goes down and the train crashes into the trailer. That's legitimately short enough for some people to not have been able to assess the situation.

I remember seeing a documentary on some military people stating that for the first 10 seconds of an ambush, you're essentially useless because you havent had time to process what's going on. And we are literally talking about people who trained for situations like theses.
