Australian 'Free Runner' In Closest Of Close Shaves With Train

An Australian man has narrowly avoided being hit by a train by the smallest of margins while attempting to run across the tracks.

The man was apparently running across the tracks on purpose as some kind of 'free running' stunt.

And in what might be the nearest-ever miss of this kind posted to YouTube, the man can be seen avoiding the oncoming train by inches, if that.

The CCTV footage has been released by Australian authorities to stop anyone else from trying the same thing. We suspect that if they view this video they may well agree to stay at home.
