This unknown future darwin award winner was skateboarding on a New York City subway platform when a missed trick caused the board to shoot onto the tracks. Without thinking, the skater runs after the board and jumps onto the track, retrieving the board and jumping back to safety with only a second to spare. If you value your life more than your skateboard, please don't do this.
