Failed suicide results in hefty fines

This story really sucks. A man tried to commit suicide by jumping in
front of a train and fails. You would think that is a pretty safe bet
that you will not survive. On the same level as a shotgun in the mouth
or falling from a skyscraper. But he did. Now the Munich authorities
(Where this took place) wants him to pay for the train repairs (he fell
through the window of the train into the conductor's lap) and the lost
wages from the conductor being too freaked out. Why do they even bother?
If he didn't have a good enough reason to kill himself before, they just
gave him another. Good luck collecting on that fine, Dieter.
