The question is how would you react if the guy got hit by the train? True it wasn’t going too fast, but it was still fast enough to knock him over and painfully drag him beneath the undercarriage.
I don’t understand why the guy ran back across the tracks and not around the white van – which was already out of the ay!
Of course, he probably wasn’t thinking too clearly with a train bearing down on him.
Guys, the clip is in fast-forward, you can tell by the jerky running at the end. I’m guessing the train was going slowly enough that it wouldn’t hurt him if he were clipped. It looks like the train was almost at a stop, he jogged out of the way, and this GIF sped it up 5x to look like he sprinted out of the way of a speeding train.
Even at a near stop, if the train had hit him he probably would have fallen and been run over. Regardless of the fact that the train stops a few meters past the crossing that’s still enough space to get an arm or leg caught between the rail and wheel and become an amputee.
The train WAS slowing down because the operator saw the van, but it was still going fast enough to have killed the family inside the van and the man if he hadn’t moved in time.
This was big news here in Argentina, and believe me, the fast forward is almost nonexistant!
I shoulds mention that the driver probably was still shaken up by this, but despite the risk, nice work by the guy that shoved it out of the way, proably saved at least one person’s life. Juts make sure not to get hit by the oncoming train
THAT.WAS.AMAZING!! Kudos to that guy whoever he was. I really hope he gets lots of blessings from life. I wish everyone had that kind of balls, the world would be a better place!
Oooooof! Even at the lower real-time speed, it’s a good thing the train didn’t hit him, or it would have derailed and exploded after hitting that guy’s concrete-titanium-diamond balls…
Find out that guy’s name, set up a paypal account for him, I’ll chip in!
Look how abruptly the car stops once it gets pushed off the tracks. Almost like someone was surprised they got moved off em… as if they were trying to get hit…
Dayamn, I agree – the guy’s got balls of steel (or titanium)! I can’t understand why he ran BACK! Eek! Even at a slow speed, that train could’ve put a major hurt on him. The train conductor looks like he’s chewing him out – asswipe.
In a situation happening that fast, you’re going off of instinct. The car he pushed was barely off the tracks– his brain made a split-second decision that it would take longer to run around the car than to just run straight back across the tracks. Instinct is sometimes wrong; but in this case it turned out okay.
I’m from Argentina, and the incredible thing of what happened in that situation, not that the man is pushing the truck on its own, but after the train passed the truck disappeared without a trace. Or perhaps the driver of the truck is just an ass.
a good thing to keep in mind is that he didnt know the trian was going to stop either, he had in mind it was going to ram the van at the speed it was going when he saw it, at least thats what i would be thinking.
Here’s maybe the craziest thing–just before the train passes, you can see the van driver HIT THE BRAKES! Like “okay, you’ve pushed me far enough, I think I’ll just park it here and watch the train go by”. Whatta numbskull.
That’s in Buenos Aires state, in Argentina.
Now we know there’s still a nation breeding superheroes. o.0
Yowza.
WIN
Wow WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brix have been shat.
what a hero !
GIVE THIS MAN A GODDAMN MEDAL
Doesn’t need one. He can just show off his enormous titanium balls.
Oh, that’s an easy question. Bike Guy is the sidekick to Mr. Titanium Balls! They’re the new Batman and Robin.
The question is how would you react if the guy got hit by the train? True it wasn’t going too fast, but it was still fast enough to knock him over and painfully drag him beneath the undercarriage.
That would have been terrible! That’s why his buddy should have helped! It would have been less of a close call, I think.
I don’t understand why the guy ran back across the tracks and not around the white van – which was already out of the ay!

You brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, *deep breath*, brave, brave, brave, person you.
Seeing stuff like this gives me a little hope in the human race.
this dude has big NUTS!

It looks like the train was almost at a stop, he jogged out of the way, and this GIF sped it up 5x to look like he sprinted out of the way of a speeding train.
No man, you can watch it on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3uSufdGMJw.
I’m sure you can do it better. When you came out of your basement.-
I love at 00:39 when he’s throwing both arms up like “Yeah, I rock!”
even at a slow speed the sheer momentum would at least hurt

Adult male human being: ~175 lbs.
Average light-rail train: ~105,000 lbs.
You don’t need to add a lot of velocity to this equation to see how it’s going to turn out.
Yep, it’s in fast-forward, but not 5x. See for yourself @ youtube.com/watch?v=DWuGBnrHT2w

Just because it’s sped up doesn’t mean that it isn’t any less dangerous or impressive.
Yes the gif was sped up at the start. No, this does not make what this guy did any less awesome.
No dude this happend in my counrty, argentina and it was like the gif the train was going very fast search in youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECcc9gPRZKk
HAhahah, this was on my country
Argentina ! !
as me
lo malo es que a nadie le importa la pelotuda argentina….
Respect.

Epic win! *THUMBS UP*
Maybe the owner of the truck that wanted to get the insurance, must be cursing the “hero” hahaha
I’m not sure how insurance claims work in Argentina, but I’m pretty sure you can’t collect insurance if you’re dead.
win

Hero: You’re doing it right.
Anyone know where can get a source of this?
Found it myself. As previously stated the train isn’t as fast as looks in the gif but still Epic Win IMO.
Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ6nYjAA53k
Better source where you see him celebrating afterwards
Imagine the adrenaline rush he must have felt.. This is truly a no less than a hero.
I imagine at least part of what he was saying went something along the lines of, “¿Quién es el hombre? Soy un hombre!”
Somebody pin a medal on this guy!
THAT.WAS.AMAZING!! Kudos to that guy whoever he was. I really hope he gets lots of blessings from life. I wish everyone had that kind of balls, the world would be a better place!
here is the full video
I love the interaction between the man and his friend after he pushes it out of the way.
Hey, I know you from PK!!!
And you are absolutely right. Love the ‘Man Hug!!!’
That’s common here in Argentina
Oooooof! Even at the lower real-time speed, it’s a good thing the train didn’t hit him, or it would have derailed and exploded after hitting that guy’s concrete-titanium-diamond balls…
Find out that guy’s name, set up a paypal account for him, I’ll chip in!
that guy deserves a medal for his effort!
What a champion.
adrenaline ftw!
S**T yeah.
You pusihng a car, while a train comes at you. Adrenaline to the MAX! F**k skydiving.
Kudos to that guy.
Look how abruptly the car stops once it gets pushed off the tracks. Almost like someone was surprised they got moved off em… as if they were trying to get hit…
It’s not their fault trains take a mile and a half to come to a full stop.
this guy, really, really WIN’s, like really.
you go super dude!

The train guy _was_ a jerk, though.
You know that trains can’t brake with such short distance available, right? They are not cars.
He deserves a medal!
Adrena-win.
To all the medal people: Medal of Valor or Medal of Balls Win?
heey!! that happend in my country!
that’s a win!
AGUANTE ARGENTINA CARAJO!
I’m from Argentina, and the incredible thing of what happened in that situation, not that the man is pushing the truck on its own, but after the train passed the truck disappeared without a trace. Or perhaps the driver of the truck is just an ass.
I think you can see it drive off in the distance that guy is an ass
Holy cow, epic guy right there!
We need more caring people like this in the world.
Crowning Moment of Awesome.
hahahahah wut a fail but he got huebos
super dude kicks asssssses
Holy crap that’s me!
He was too tired to stopped the train with his bare hands…but that still worked
That frightened me so much that I got the shivers. That man is … awesome. 100%. Or 99% awesome 1% WHAT THE F**K.
a good thing to keep in mind is that he didnt know the trian was going to stop either, he had in mind it was going to ram the van at the speed it was going when he saw it, at least thats what i would be thinking.
