It is dangerous for Indian trains to carry so many people, so people sitting on the roof of the train will fall off.

As a characteristic of Indian railway transportation, it is actually very unsafe to hang tickets. Passengers "hanging" outside may accidentally fall down or even roll under the wheels, causing tragedy. In addition, on the electrified railway, passengers standing on the roof will accidentally encounter high-voltage power lines. On the high-speed rail, it will be "blown". Therefore, we see that the speed at which trains "hang" full people in many videos is not very high.

Extended data:

In most countries in the world, climbing a train is a prohibited dangerous behavior. In India, it has become a feature.

In many photos of Indian trains, we can see that there are not only passengers in the carriages, but even more passengers climb to the outside of the train body to take the train. Climbing the train in India has become a helpless choice for the poor to travel far away. Some passengers climbed outside the carriage and grabbed the support points with their hands and feet. It looks like a person is hanging outside the car body, so it is nicknamed "hanging tickets" by netizens in China.

Generally, trains and other means of transportation sell seat tickets (collect tickets), and standing tickets will be introduced in places with many people like China. Sitting and standing tickets, as the name implies, one has a seat and the other has to stand without a seat. "Hanging tickets" is the name of Indian train transportation on the Internet.

A train, also known as a railway train, refers to a vehicle running on the railway track, which is usually composed of multiple carriages and is one of the important means of transportation for human modernization.

The most important machine in human history, called steam locomotive in the early days, has an independent orbit. Railway trains can be divided into freight cars and passenger cars according to their load capacity, and there are mixed passenger and freight cars.

Trains are a typical example of human transportation using fossil energy. 1804, the world's first steam locomotive was built by British mining technician Drivesk using Watt's steam engine, with a speed of 5 to 6 kilometers per hour. Because coal or firewood was used as fuel at that time, people called it "train" and it has been used ever since. 1840 On February 22nd, the world's first real train running on the track was designed by Kangwa engineer Charlie Levisik.

1879, Siemens electric company of Germany developed the first electric locomotive.

With the popularity of trains, the way people ride horses (or take other livestock as the main power) has changed. The early train carriages in China were green, so they were called green leather trains.

In the early days, the traditional train consisted of one or three locomotives pulling several carriages or freight cars. In modern new trains, there have been many self-powered EMU trains, and there may be maglev trains in the future.
