Man Sent Flying Across Tracks By Russias Fastest Train

This is the moment a pedestrian is sent flying through the air after walking in front of Russia's fastest train apparently oblivious to his surroundings.

The incident took place near the Slavyanka railway station in the settlement of Petro-Slavyanka in the Kolpinsky District of the city of St. Petersburg, Russia, where the modern high-speed train was travelling as a man carrying shopping bags walks across the tracks, ignoring the warning sounds.

Within seconds, the train - unable to stop in time - smashes into him at high-speed and sends him flying through the air and onto the other side of the tracks.
