Umbrellas Near Railway Tracks Pose Serious Dangers

When it rains near train tracks, it's super important not to use an umbrella, especially one with metal.

Trains use very powerful electricity from wires above.

If an umbrella gets too close, the electricity can jump through the air and give you a dangerous shock, like a zap.

This can be very harmful.

Even on the platform, be careful, as lifting an umbrella near the wires is still risky.

The railway warns against holding any metal objects near the wires.

It's always best to be extra safe near trains.
