Here is an interesting study for those who can read German. It analysed the 5731 railway suicides from 1997 to 2002. Intersting factoids:
one hit per driver per career.
Recently saw swedish statistics and they were about the same.
Speaking of statistics I started to wonder about suicide statistics and checked wikipedia.
List of countries by suicide rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list should be used with caution. Little data is available documenting suicide rates in Africa, and the Middle East. Even in countries where cause-of-death data is collected systematically, differing societal attitudes toward suicide may impact the recorded figures (e.g., misreporting a suicide as an accidental death out of deference for the bereaved). Also, due to the highly corrupt police forces in Eastern Europe, many murders are written off as suicides.
I thought there was something fishy with the egyptians never commiting suicide. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Heh. Someone should plaster this full with [reference needed] tags... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
