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.
