A man had a remarkable escape after he ended up on the tracks in the path of a moving train.
Prateek Kumar realized that he needed to act quickly and lay down on the tracks so that the moving train passed over him without seriously injuring or killing him.
It’s like something out of an action movie, except this looks like a stunt that even Tom Cruise wouldn’t try to do himself, and he threw himself off a cliff a bunch of times for the latest Mission: Impossible movie.
Kumar originally got off to buy a cold drink and some biscuits, but quickly tried to get back on board the train after it started to leave without him.
The train, which was stopped at Bagaha railway station in West Chamaparan in India started rolling out, and Kumar – who is in his 20s – decided that he desperately needed to get back on board.
As he ran after the train and tried to re-embark, he slipped underneath the moving carriages and ended up on the tracks.
Showing remarkable quickness of thought, however, he lay down flat as the train rolled on over him as officials and passengers watched on in horror, clearly thinking that he was about to die.
A local source is quoted as having said: “He was careful with his movements and stayed still, waiting for the train to pass.
