While reading the News of the Weird this week, I stumbled across this:
In Red Deer, Alberta, in April, Jesse Maggrah, 20, listening through earphones
to heavy-metal music while walking on Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, was hit
from behind by a train moving at about 30 mph, but survived. In his hospital bed
(broken ribs, punctured lung, other injuries), Maggrah said he remembers the
immediate aftermath: "I thought, 'Holy crap, dude, you just got hit by a
train.'" "Maybe the metal gods above were smiling on me, and they didn't want
one of their true warriors to die on them." [Edmonton Sun, 4-18-06]
and I laughed my ass off! How loud was the music and just how into it was this guy?!?!?!

We had the same thing happen here recently, except sadly it was a fatal accident.
I don't know how loud people listen to their iPods, but it's apparently quite loudly.
