Haha. Yeah I get a kick out of it too.
"Humping" in this case is a railway term. When transferring cars from one consist to another, they will be pushed over a small hill or hump, then roll down hill and connect to another train. They put the "Do Not Hump" warnings on the LRVs because they can be significantly damaged by this process. Some of Edmonton's new LRVs arrived damaged and had to be sent back (at significant cost to the manufacturer) because they had been "humped."
