    Narrow Escape! Yikes

    Not the Arsenal but this stupid cyclist..

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/poland/1204 2197/Watch-the-moment-a-Polish-cyclist-is-struck-by-a-high-s peed-train-and-escapes-with-bruises-only.html

    This is the dramatic moment a Polish cyclist was struck by a high-speed train while on a rail crossing and escaped with nothing but minor injuries.

    CCTV video shows the 26-year-old cyclist going over the lowered barriers oblivious to the Pendolino locomotive, which can reach speeds of 180mph.

    Just as his bike’s front wheel is about to touch the track the blue and white liveried train tears by, sending the cyclist spinning and tumbling through the air.

    He lands in a crumpled heap by the side of the track some 12ft from the point of impact.

    Classic cyclist mentality, I'm afraid. 'I'm not driving a car, so the rules of the road don't apply'

    Tragically in this case, he lived.
