A skier went viral after tying himself to the back of a train at a station near Leningrad in Russia.

The train rams ahead on the snow-covered tracks pulling along the skier in a high-speed chase.

The action ends quickly as the skier falls down and lets go the cord. It was later reported that he suffered a fractured finger, a knee injury and a number of bruises.

The skier was assisted in the stunt by a friend, who is seen in the video tying the cord to the train and hopping on to it.

Though the video went viral, both of them remain anonymous as the stunt may have broken a few laws.
