Man gets kicked in the head by passing train driver

A man has gotten more than he bargained for after filming dangerously close to a speeding train.

The short video posted to social media shows the young man was kicked in the head by a train conductor who held nothing back as he passed by.

The younger man, who was filming, had headphones in and an oncoming train can be heard in the distance. 

The train sounds the horn and the man is suddenly flung forward as the train passes by.

"Wow, that guy kicked me in the head!" the man in the video yells as the train passes by, clutching at his face.

“Hope I got that on film!”

It’s unclear why the man was filming so close to the passing train, but commenters on Reddit have said that he’s lucky to be alive.

"I've never seen someone so happy to be kicked in the head before," one commenter said.

"That had to hurt," another said.

"Likely saved this dipsticks life," one commenter said. "Rather a boot to the noggin then some thing either going through your head or knocking it off."

"(He) could’ve died and he’s thinking about the video," another commenter said.
