In the States, he would have been robbed while still on the landing, then PUSHED onto the tracks. While down there, someone else would have cut out a kidney to sell it on the black market before the train got there.

Guy I worked with and I were at lunch in a burrito place in Denver. He sees a $20 laying on the floor, next to a man that was seated at a table. Keep in mind it's a very crowded restaurant, so it's going to be next to somebody. So he picks up the $20, and hands it to the man, assuming it's his. He says "is this yours?" The man takes it and replies "No." Then puts it in his pocket. I figure the guy was probably a skydiver. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Jet Li is the tandem "master" if you will. But it's more like a tether than a tandem - did you see how much separation there was between the two people? And I'm guessing it was a slider-down hop-n-pop from the speed of the opening Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

If skydivers jump out of an AN-2, and the propeller of the aircraft immediately stops, there is still enough momentum in the air-mass for the skydivers to land safely with no parachute. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I had one math professor that did that - printed his own book. The problem was that it cost $50 to get from the bookstore, who had an exclusive agreement to sell each and every "book" or learning material for every class. Your post is spot-on, though.
