WASHINGTON (AP) - A young man talking on a cellphone meanders along the edge of a lonely train platform at night. Suddenly he stumbles, loses his balance and pitches over the side, landing head first on the tracks.

Fortunately there were no trains approaching the Philadelphia-area station at that moment, because it took the man several minutes to recover enough to climb out of danger. But the incident, captured last year by a security camera and provided to The Associated Press, underscores the risks of what government officials and safety experts say is a growing problem: distracted walking.

This supports my theory that the universe is self policing.

Why am I not surprised to see the government piling on and creating bills/laws about this.  Pretty soon, wiping your ass will be regulated.

Pull the covers off manholes.



The problem should sort itself out soon enough.

Time to ban walking and make everyone pay a 'penalty' who dosen't buy and ride on a sagway that has built in danger sensors.

Yep.  This is what "government should be run like a business" looks like in action.

I watch them wander out in front of traffic head down, glued to their phones, in D.C. and in Baltimore.
I've seen a guy literally stop in the middle of the street to text with me bearing down on him.

I care not if they die as a result of such foolish behavior.
