Why This Guy Felt The Need To Run In Front Of A Train Is Really Anyone's Guess

#1

We've probably all thought about driving in front of a train when we're running late and don't want to get stuck waiting behind the barriers.

But because most of us are sane human beings, we don't because we would like to avoid death by train. Other people, however, don't seem to care as much about becoming train track roadkill -- case in point, this seemingly crazy guy.

This 77-year-old man from the Czech Republic has never been luckier. As he foolishly scurries across a train track, the man mis-times his walk and almost gets killed by a speeding train.

The train comes so close hitting him on the tracks that it actually does.

His foot is clipped by the train and you can see one of his shoes fly across the video. Judging by how fast his shoe is catapulted, you can imagine what would have happened to the rest of his body if he was half a step slower.

He's lucky that his shoe was the only casualty.
