Your seat breaks and you tumble out of the train car and, luckily, slam onto the guardrail and grab on before you tumble off. You start to climb your way back up along the bottom of the train but a giant boulder falls from the cliff and nearly takes you with it. After a few more tense moments climbing you emerge in the next car that is perched right on the edge.

You start running as fast as you can and make a desperate leap to the cliff edge just as the two doomed train cars fall into the oblivion below you.
