What happens when you get run over by a train?

--> 612 ABC Brisbane Interview

A man with one arm and one leg confronted high school students in south east Queensland last week.

His name is Jonathan Beninca and he has a very serious message to deliver about rail safety.

612 Breakfast reporter Rebecca Levingston went along to Beenleigh State High School to hear what he had to say:

I heard part of it - from memory apparently around 10 years ago he missed a train at night, then decided to "walk along the tracks to get home" then decided to throw big rocks at a stationary train - the last one he threw bounced off the train and hit him in the head and knocked him out - remember he was still on the tracks. Then while knocked out a train ran over him causing the loss of one leg and one arm and many months in hospital and rehab (cost to community anwhere between 200,000 and $2.0M dollars - added by me) Now he does some community work talking to people about what happened to him in the hope that others won't be in the same position. Now he sounds quite reasonable and reformed but heck what a way to get there.
