Waxman Staff Writer Aug 31, 2015 4:29 PM UTC In a clip that we wouldn’t recommend watching if you’re prone to vertigo, a daredevil named Pasha Bumchik from the Ukrainian capital Kiev appears to jump onto the roof of a commuter train. He then proceeds to walk across like it is no big deal, as dramatic instrumental music plays in the background. He even manages to film a selfie video during the terrifying stunt. The clip has been viewed on YouTube more than 1 million times since it was uploaded two days ago — becoming the most popular video he has ever shared. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4017367/man-moving-train-stunt-daredevil/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4017367/man-moving-train-stunt-daredevil/"},"headline":"Watch a Daredevil Walk on Top of a Moving Train","datePublished":"2015-08-31T16:29:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:10.653Z","description":"It's a pretty terrifying balancing act","url":"https://time.com/4017367/man-moving-train-stunt-daredevil/","keywords":["Newsfeed","society"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
