Think about what Tom Cruise did on top of the bullet train in the first Mission: Impossible.

This guy must have thought about it, too — a little too much maybe?

I was impressed by the fact that the guy in the video below got situated without being blown off the back of the train when it hit 200mph. But when he stood up, I was really stoked! Very Happy

And then I realized he was only holding his safety line in one hand — while he held the camera out behind him with the other, taking a selfie at 200mph!

In view of what you said above, I'm less impressed with the scenes in Mission: Impossible.
