Russian daredevil flips in front of oncoming train

A Russian daredevil video showing a man flipping in front of an oncoming train has been pulled apart by keyboard warriors labelling the vision as fake.

The video posted on November 26 in Russia’s Polezhaevskaya station shows a masked man casually tie his shoelaces and step backwards as a train approaches through a tunnel.

Moments before the train arrives the masked man jumps across the platform and performs a mid-air flip.

Both the stuntman and person filming then board the train.

Social media has relentlessly questioned the video's authenticity, which has racked up more than 116,000 views, after spotting several anomalies.

One of the key faults in the video user's claim proves it's a fake is the train driver's lack of reaction as the man flips in front of his window.

"There's way to (sic) much Adidas in that vid for it to be real," wrote one user.

"The ground doesn't cast his shadows or reflections, it's fake," wrote another.
