A complication video of near misses and close calls. Well worth a watch - my heart is still racing

Check out the hardcore dedicated photographer at the 3:10 mark

Wow. Some of that is pretty astonishing. The various rally crashes are amazing.... and the chap videoing a steam train on a level crossing as a high speed train comes the other way was a real tooth clencher!

Good link

Frankly the driver and the unfortunate track workers who had to clean up the mess are the only people I would have any sympathy for in the event of those idiots mistiming their jump and getting turned into strawberry jam.

Their stupidity ends careers. Skilled train drivers have had to leave their jobs due to PTSD brought on by one selfish idiot's game of "chicken".

couple of the train ones looked edited, the worker who superhumanly leaps away from one train and then another, and the guy running invfront of the red train.
Lurking is shirking.!

Very strange. I assume it was a compilation (not a complication ) of several other YouTube vids, and someone complained. This one has a lot of the same clips, but is quite a bit shorter:
