In a video, a woman is seen throwing a bag on the platform of Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur Railway Station, deboarding the moving train with her child, and slipping off. Fortunately, a police personnel's timely action saved the woman and her child.

Deboarding a moving train can be extremely dangerous and is not advised under any circumstances. Attempting to get off a moving train can lead to severe injury or even death, as the person can lose their balance, fall onto the tracks, or hit an object while trying to jump off.

Commuters must wait until the train has come to a complete stop before attempting to deboard. If you miss your stop, waiting for the next station is safer. However, people risk their lives and try to get off the running train. One such incident occurred recently in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur Railway Station.
