Hey! It Worked In Wanted, When Angelina Jolie Did It!

Some guy learned the hard way why you shouldn't try certain movie stunts at home:

Police spokesman Detective James Mason said a motorist called 911 around 7:30 a.m. after seeing a man on the roof of a 64-car train as she went over an overpass in South Austin. Officers stopped the train a few minutes later and found body of a man, who they describe as a Hispanic male, age 25 to 30, and wearing a black jacket, black jeans and tennis shoes.

Mason said investigators think the man may have jumped from an overpass onto the train this morning, but are not sure how he died.

Not sure how he died, huh? Here's a clue: The man was found on top of a train, after witnesses saw him jump on it from a great height. Although we'll have to wait for the autopsy to confirm it, I bet it has something to do with gravity, the relative fragility of the human body, and mortality. Also, that he's not Wile E. Coyote.
