Daredevil ties himself to back of speeding train, and gets himself hurt, of course

In pursuit of the thrill of speed, this mad Russian skier thought it would be a good idea to slap a pair of skis on and tie himself to a train.

Er, no!

The "adrenaline skiing" took place at Kovalyovo, somewhere near St Petersburg in northern Russia, and the clip shows someone attaching a line to the train as it leaves while the daredevil hangs on to the other end.

The speedseeker can then be seen hanging on for dear life for about 30 seconds before falling.

Luckily, he only got a broken finger, a knee injury and multiple bruises, but it just goes to show that stunts like this are very dangerous.

Do we need to tell you not to try this yourselves?
