A) Jump out of a side exit door, hit the ground and roll, keeping your momentum rolling forward in the direction of the train.

B) Sprint toward the rear of the train, trying your best to approximate 12mph, and jump out of the back.
This one's easy for me... Jump out the side door. Why? Because there's less distance to it, and frankly, I want to reduce the risk of falling down when I'm trying to "approximate" 12 mph, and end up riding the damn thing to the bottom of the cliff.

Besides, it's 12 mph.. I've crashed on a mountain bike going faster than that! Avg. human walks at 5 mph, so 12 isn't really any big deal at all...
