Viral video purports to show daredevil flipping in front of moving train

MOSCOW, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- A viral video recorded in a Moscow subway station purports to show a daredevil doing a flip across the tracks right in front of a moving train.

The video, posted to YouTube by user Zacepper Krotovich, shows a man with his face hidden tying his shoes before doing a daring flip in front of an oncoming train, which he then boards along with the filmer.

The video, recorded in the Polezhaevskaya station in Moscow, led some commenters to criticize the man for his unsafe behavior.

Some on social media have branded the video an elaborate fake, with some alleging there are shadows missing that prove the video was digitally altered.
