   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?

   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. (only) those portions are quoted from the OBB spokesperson   
               (the gender is male in the original)
