And why did you trip? Do you have mobility issues? If you do (for example, a friend of mine has just had surgery to have her wonky hip aligned, and she's only in her twenties) I assume LCM knows about them and should be not rushing across railway tracks?

It sounds like you both got a hell of a fright. I would worry that if things like this happen again, LCM will wonder if you are unconsciously engineering unsafe situations for her to rescue you from?

We didn't see it when we were crossing. If I hadn't tripped, there wouldn't have been a timing issue at all. I don't have a mobility issue. I'm just super klumsy and didn't see the ditch before the rail and couldn't regain footing on the gravel. I felt nervous about cutting across it but I didn't say anything and just followed her.
