This would be quite an adrenaline rush.

Police say a freight train hit a 16-year-old Lake Station boy, hurling him 70 feet.

Now for the funny part…

Stills says the CSX train hit Furlong “square on.” He says the teen apparently was wearing a stereo headset and may not have heard the train approaching behind him at about 37 mph.

The train engineer told police he blew his whistle some 50 times in warning.

I guess sometimes listening to your mom when she tells you to turn the music down could prepare you for something like this.
