It does if there was a part of the train that sticks out the same distance further down. Getting kicked in the head by a foot is a softer blow, getting him out of the way, than for his head to get kicked by a piece of metal down the line.

Standing close enough for a foot to hit you and said foot was on a moving train should let you know LINK

You need to look at the photo in the second link. The conductor risked getting his foot broken off by placing it in front of a metal extension (circled in a red outline in the photo) to cushion what was certain to be a blow to the side/back of the head. Due to the man's quick thinking and consideration which saved the kid's parents from making closed casket funeral preparations, I think it's fair to call him a hero. That kid is lucky to be alive. If nothing else, he definitely deserved a kick to the head.

I just rewatched the video. Did he say "I think I'm gonna sue?"

Makes sense that he vaguely looks like a human version of Butt-Head, even the coiffed hairstyle.

That kid would've been fubar if he got sucked under. Obviously the tard has no clue, but they say that over a hundred people die in collisions with trains every year: suicide, accident, or foolishness. That player Eddie Griffin (T'Wolves) was a recent one, burned to a crisp.
