      I'd think (shortly after the accident)        German-language newspapers and         German-language discussion sites had comments on her        possible carelessness. I'd love to see some of those.                     I think I heard that in some jurisdictions (in the past),         any [contributory negligence] by the injured        bars any claim by the injured.               Is this common in Europe?               This is long gone in all of US, right?                     On Wednesday, December 9, 2015 at 11:59:27 AM UTC-8, Stephen Sprunk wrote:       .......              > >> Fakt sei aber, dass "auf fahrende Züge" "nicht aufgesprungen werden"       dürfe.        >        > Google Translate is having trouble with that portion, so I'm not sure       > what it means.                ( the original S (sentence) contains 2 auf's )              The Fact is (remains) that one should        "not jump onto" "onto a moving train".                             I'm not sure about the quotes. it may be that              1. those portions are quoted from (common) signs in train-stations.               or              2.
