VIDEO: Pensioner has close call with speeding train

This pensioner in the Czech Republic is very lucky to be alive.

The 77-year-old man narrowly missed out on getting killed by an oncoming train after he ignored the barriers at a level crossing by sneaking across the track.

He almost gets killed, but thankfully makes it to the other side, minus a shoe which can be seen flying to the bottom of the screen as the train clips his foot.

That could have been him. Lucky man!
