Tough. No-one forced them to jump on or off in-between stops.

Indeed. Darwin strikes again...

What I would say *is* rather dangerous about RMs is how the staircase
leads straight onto the platform such that if anyone was to slip on
the stairs they'd end up on the tarmac. It'd make more sense, from a
safety perspective, for the stairs to lead down against the back wall
with a sharp "turn" at the bottom, so anyone falling would not end up
falling out, but the split boarding arrangement would remain.

That said, they weren't designed for the current litigious society -
which is why I'm amazed they're still in operation...
