Watch: Daredevil attempts to ski behind train

Skiing is a relatively dangerous activity, but for one Russian daredevil, it needed to have more of a thrill.

So to up the ante, he tied an elastic rope to the back of a train and strapped himself to skis not far behind it. When the train started moving, so did he.

The stunt was caught on video, from two angles. One is from the back of the train, and the other (44 seconds in) is from the skier's point of view.

He successfully holds on for 30 seconds before taking a hard fall.

After the video went viral, it was reported the skier suffered a knee injury, fractured finger and multiple bruises, according to the Daily Mail.
