Sometimes, the light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train.  But however certain you are that it's not an oncoming train, if the rails start vibrating and singing, RUN LIKE HELL AND DON'T STOP TO LOOK BEHIND YOU.

(And if you can't run as fast as a freight?  ...Well, sucks to be you, doesn't it?)

No technique works 100% of the time. Like they teach in combat arts classes, be aware of everything around you -- train yourself to listen to your unconscious mind, which knows everything, and is aware of everything -- and RUN LIKE HELL when you see the earth-movers coming your way . . .
