How old was (is) she?     Was she careless?    
      
           Did she try to sue the RR in Austria?   
      
      
   >>> She had bought her Eurail pass, a multi-railway ticket, <<<---  was she a   
   young woman? (sounds like it)   
      
     ---- Eurail pass  ...  like that movie with Julie Delpy

   2012 and this week (in 2015) ---- A Berkeley woman who lost her legs when she   
   fell through a gap on a railway platform in Austria and was hit by a train   
   can't sue the government-owned railroad for damages because it is legally   
   immune, a divided federal    
   appeals court has ruled.   
      
   Carol Sachs was injured on April 2007 at a station in Innsbruck. According to   
   her lawsuit, she slipped through a gap and fell to the tracks when the doors   
   of the train she was trying to board closed and the train started moving. Both   
   her legs had to be    
   amputated above the knee.   
      
   Her suit accused OBB, the Austrian national railroad, of operating the train   
   negligently and failing to provide a safe place to board or to warn passengers.

   .........    A few days later, on April 27, 2007, Sachs arrived at the   
   Innsbruck train station and attempted to board a moving train. She fell to the   
   tracks through a gap in the platform and suffered injuries that ultimately   
   required the   
   amputation of both legs above the knee.
