Dumb ways to die

A seemingly adorable, but really quite graphic animated PSA for the Metro in Melbourne, Australia, ticks off the various dumb things that can be done to virtually ensure one's quick demise (my favorite: "use your private parts as piranha bait," which rhymes with "eat medicine that's out of date"):

“The campaign evolved out of discussion with platform staff and drivers who witness people risking their safety around train stations and at level crossings,” Metro Trains’ Leah Waymark, told an Australian outlet. [Ollie] McGill says the tune came to him after a late night out.

Here's a closeup of the little purple guy who jumped down on the tracks to catch a balloon and now he's about to get hit by a train.
