Dangerous, Stupid Train Stunt The Reason Ridiculous Train Warnings Exist (VIDEO)

Ever wonder why transportation companies have those dopey warnings about not riding on top of the train or not urinating on the electrified rail? That's probably because people like this exist. Sure, they don't die or even seem to get injured, but one wrong move heads could have literally rolled.

Long story short, do not try this ever... and we mean ever.

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.
