A THRILLSEEKER has risked his life by lying down on tracks and allowing the train to speed over him.

The daredevil can be seen standing on the tracks as the train blasts its horn as it gets closer.

But crucial seconds tick by as the man stands on the train tracks before he finally kneels down.

The cameraman's voice can be heard to get more and more frantic as the train approaches while the daredevil has still not laid completely flat.

Finally, the thrillseeker then lies down on the tracks, keeping his head up as he watches the train approach.

But with just a second to spare, the man calmly lays down on the tracks as the train travels full-speed above him.

As the train continues above him for more than 10 seconds, the thrillseeker can be seen putting his hands over his head.

After the train clears his head, the stuntman jumps up to celebrate, screaming at the camera as he flexes his muscles.

It is unclear where the stunt takes place.

The stunt, which has since gone viral, has attracted praise and criticism with one viewer saying: "One commented: “If even the tiniest little thing was dangling low enough to touch him it would have ripped him to pieces.”
