VIDEO: Man Takes Flying Leap Over Subway Tracks, Faceplants on Other Side

By Heidi Patalano | June 25, 2015 9:41am

Stand at a subway platform long enough and you will eventually wonder whether or not you'd be able to make it over the subway tracks in one big leap. Well, you don't have to wonder anymore, because one man attempted it — and missed spectacularly.

A video uploaded Wednesday night captures a shirtless man at the 145th Street stop who sprints up to the track, takes a flying leap and then lands with his face and torso smacking into the ledge on the opposite site.

He bounces off it like rubber ball and miraculously crawls right up to safety without missing a beat.

We salute you, brave soul. But seriously, get that checked out. Looks like you could be concussed.
