Good manners on buses and trains, and borrowing things, sentence 22

The edge of a train platform is dangerous; people who fall onto the tracks can be killed by trains or by the electric rail, so you stand behind the yellow line and never go down onto the tracks, even for a dropped phone: you tell the staff.

Who acts: edge, people, you · What happens: be, fall, kill, stand, not go down, drop · To what, where: tracks, people, yellow line, staff · Speech: someone speaks here
