Train Knocks Man's Shoe Off

Wrecked him? It nearly killed him!

No don't think he noticed his shoe go missing. I always wonder why is it that you occasionally see just one shoe on its own and now I think I have the answer.
I mean I can kind of understand it with gloves - you drop one and don't notice it, or you lose one and try to find it or you're in too much of a hurry and a glove is not that important.
But who are these people who don't notice their shoes?
It's these insensitive mother fuckers who don't give two shits about their feet or their shoes. That guy just kept on running and over that fence.
He didn't even have the decency to fucking limp.
Now that really pisses me off.
Can people please learn that you do not have the right to just walk all over your feet or your shoes?
"One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you"
Although that's technically boots and I don't think anyone truly has empathy for boots, but I read that lyric metaphorically to mean something more like shoes/feet than actual boots. I don't think the song writer was being literal in this case and actually meaning boots. I do like the way that certain songs can have meanings that go a little deeper than the literal reading of the lyrics. Anyway I don't really think that it would be boots or feet that would come back to haunt us. It's really going to be the shoes exacting their revenge.

Another thing is I don't really like the title "Train Knocks Man's Shoe Off". How is this the train's fault? I mean the train was present and doing what trains do, and it's pretty indisputable that it must have been the train's contact with the shoe that resulted in it's removal, but really if anyone is to blame, it's the man. You could be pretty awful and blame the shoe, but really I can't imagine you'd do that.
"Man Removes Shoe using Train" might be more accurate at least in terms of apportioning blame appropriately, I don't think it accurately portrays the man's callousness though so maybe something along the lines of "Man Tries to Kill His Own Shoe using Train"
would express some of my rage at the incident, but maybe there's a more balanced way of expressing it.

his reaction to 'narrowly missing death by train' seems quite similar to the common reaction to tripping or stumbling in a public place.

1) accomodate the mishap into your stride as if you had meant to do it
2) keep looking straight ahead
3) maintain pace
4) hope no one noticed
5) laugh about it to yourself when you've put enough distance between yourself and anyone who could've seen you.

This is the second video marked EIA which I have to wonder about... think about it. If this is evolution in action, and the guy survived, doesn't that mean that he will go off and naturally select for awesome?
