I'd say he took a fairly calculated risk :/

The only dumb thing he did was cross back across the tracks.

the train was able to slow down and stop very quickly. i think it woulda hurt like hell if he was hit, but i dunno if he woulda died.

Mike Grier would have stopped the train instead of pushing the van.

Manning the machine gun on the Tyler Myers Bandwagon - just in case any teams have an idea of prying him away from us (3 GM's shot already)

Connolly/Roy - 2 goals in the last 47 playoff games

I think he gets titanium balls for running back into the path of the train.

Wow. How weird. Two of my friends left for Argentina today.

Anyways...WOW. He's kinda an idiot. And incredibly brave. Yikes.

When I think of "balls of steel" I think of every time I "sack it" on a handrail while skateboarding. Balls meeting steel is not quite as fun or herioc as pushing a van away from a train. Props to this crazy mf'r

It sure would have hurt to been hit, but the train wasn't moving too fast and stopped quickly.

To the people saying that since it was moving slowly he wouldn't have been killed - wouldn't he still have been killed? The train is huge, and all the force and momentum? I don't know.

Fall on one of the rails when you're struck, and you're definitely dead.

Probably...but I was thinking the same thing. The train had pretty much stopped ten feet past the intersection. But it was still dangerous and required a good sized sack to do it.

probably not at that speed. likely, he would he been knocked to the side, battered, bruised, scared, but for the most part ok. maybe broken ribs?

Doesn't matter if the train was going at a fast enough speed to kill him or not, the dude still ran in the middle of a train intersection when there was an oncoming train in the distance to push a van out of harm's way. Balls of steel, indeed.
