I wonder if that guy doing the pushing needed to change his underwear after that. He was so close to that train.

He did a good thing for an absolute retard. The gate was already down for a reason. Dumbass driver.
On another note, I never really understood how vehicles manage to stall out as soon as they get on train tracks, I've heard of it happening hundreds of times, but it's never been close with me and I cross tracks multiple times daily. What gives?
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

If he had been wearing a helmet and riding gear he would have been killed!

Wow, a really stupid person and a hero in the same video! Too bad he didn't just let Darwinism take over

I'm with ya Dave. Don't know what comes over some people. When crossing railroads, never shift between gears, or stutter a beat.

He scored some serious machismo points with that one.

Seriously though, the guy is a hero, and I would definitly want a cuddle if it'd been me

Props to the guy for helping out a cager in trouble but why did he run back in front of the train? couldn't he have just waited on the same side as the van? Then again I could never figure out why the chicken crossed the road either...
