The viral Dumb Ways to Die music video, a cheerful animated song created for a Melbourne rail safety campaign. It lists absurd ways to die and ends with warnings about trains.
HN mentions it mostly as a joke or a pop-culture reference, and as the campaign that titles play on.

Is this a play on the rail safety videos? ▶ this video link link Edit: Yes. "The Melbourne Metro safety campaign this post is named after closes with “be safe around trains,” which is more actionable than anything I’ve got."
Dumb Ways to Die, so many dumb ways to die: ▶ this video I wonder why they didn't start with automobile accidents or driving drunk!
The 'Dumb Ways to Die' video from a few years ago, from Australia, was quite funny and memorable (which I think is the aim for these campaigns): ▶ this video Be safe around trains.
> This is why my preferred method for crossing intersections with 4-way stop signs is to go straight through the middle. ▶ this video
