Watch | Netherlands uses freerunning stunts to promote train safety

The Netherlands' national rail service has used an innovative way to promote a new commuter safety campaign -- professional stunts.

Video released by Nederlandse Spoorwegen, the country's principal passenger railway, on Tuesday shows British stuntman and actor Chase Armitage demonstrating some thrill seeking moves. He uses the stunt running style known as parkour, also called free-running.

There is no trouble until Armitage attempts to board a train in the station, colliding with its doors just as they close in front of him. After falling on the ground, immobile, video captions warn the viewer to exercise caution when boarding trains.
