Yeah, just like what they did in Japan, many stations especially
Shinkansen stations have 1.5 metre high guards to prevent people
from killing themselves. Many of a case drivers just hit the person
and the train stop at the normal position before emergency crew
would come and extricate the body/parts out.
If emergency brakes are applied, the signal might not be triggered
to stop the next train from coming in, plus passenger safety is
more important/paramount.
