Man lies on the track with a camera set up to record a train going over the top of him! he does not get hit as he holds onto a sleeper.! ???
no horrid views!!
:o Nutcase!
Woah! If the scoop on the loco had been 2 inches lower, the family would have buried him in a matchbox! Crazy fool needs to be sanctioned!
YouTube is to broadcast yourself - not kill yourself! ::).
I hear this guy was not punished in any way for this, not enough evidence too prove he did it :-\
i hope my friend is wrong and this nutter was put in a white padded room
As somebody who has actually had a fatality while driving a train, I can say that this sort of stunt is far from funny from a Train Drivers prospective.
If you listen to the clip you can hear the trains brakes where the Driver has gone into an emergency brake application and i would imagine, now be in no fit state to continue with the journey.
Sadly posting this on Youtube will only encourage other brainless idiots to try it and some won't be as lucky as the fool in the video.
