In the video which was uploaded to YouTube, the man can be seen lying down in the middle of a track with his camera in from of him.
He then lies motionless as a train approaches and with a horn blaring and screeching brakes, passes over him.
Once clear the idiot looks behind him before grabbing his camera and running off, presumably to upload the footage to the internet.
A spokesperson for Network Rail branded the stunt as "stupidity in the extreme"… which we think is still an understatement.
