Explain how when you jump onto a train track, getting hit by a train is somehow, 'unexpected'.
What is the probability of being hit by a train for each random act of "jumpting onto the track"? 100%? Are you insane? 50/50? Which track carries a train 50% of the time? You have to admit the chance of being hit by a train during a short sojourn on a track required to retrieve a phone is actually rather low, as for as fraction out of unity goes.
So I don't think she expected to be hit by a train, the odds were not that she would be hit by a train, the odds of her being hit be a train might be higher than you are comfortable with, but it most certainly is not the expected outcome as far as statistics goes.
