Why are trains not fitted with seat-belts?

Last time I checked there were far (thousands) less accidents involving trains that autos making trains the safest mode of transportation... Obviously hitting a trespasser or auto doesn't count because its out of the railroads control. It is a controlled environment - you're not suddenly stopping, and chances of hitting something of equal mass are nil, and there's no windshield for you to go flying through..

Trains do not give up the tracks during turbulant weather.


Psychology
Because then the police wouldn't be able to give each passenger a ticket for not wearing their seatbelts, and rob them blind. So, seatbelts are useless on trains and busses because they don't generate a profit for our corrupt government.

Not required. Manufacturers do not install them to be thoughtful of you, they do it when they are REQUIRED to, like on autos.

Put yourself in their place. Would YOU spend MILLIONS of dallars installing something that's not required to help people who think they should get everything free?
I don't think so....

Because it costs too much money to install them compared to how many lives they believe they would save if they were there. Sounds crazy but that's the way it is

dunno

Because it's a more efficient way to mass murder people??? No seriously though, it's not practical, it would be far too costly, be prone to constant vandalism and trains are allowed to have standing passengers, what are the people who can't get a seat supposed to do?

Too expensive, most people feel they are unneeded, and they prevent getting on and off quickly.

BECASE IF SOME THING IS ON THE TRACKS IT WILL GO RIGHT THOUGH IT YOU CANT STOP IT

because people who ride trains can't afford to file lawsuits

Because they are in what they like to call a controlled environment. They control the train by the rails so there for ther is not a need for seat belts
