This three-sided pole on an airport tram
(sh.itjust.works)
I had never seen one of these before today. They're great. Way better than reaching for a single pole in a crowded car and wrapping your hand around some stranger's fingers. And If you have the whole thing to yourself you can hook your arm through it.
Unless they do.
Even if you hit emergency stop, they don’t stop like a car. They take a while to slow down.
Here are some trains nerds talking about e brake times.

I was thinking more like a crash or something...
Which is pretty rare for a commuter train system with tracks that are often underground or raised above road traffic.
Especially since I think this is in the Denver airport where the trains are all computer controlled and going in a loop
E: ah I was wrong, but the comment still applies to the ones in Denver
