Watch This Insane Guy’s Leaping Flip Across MBTA Platforms
Parkour expert Dylan Polin has no fear of the live third rail. That‘s evident from a video he posted on Instagram late last week in which he flips from one side of the Park Street platform to the other.

The video came with this message:
“Been dreaming of this for years. Finally gapped the red line train tracks. Huge way to end 2014. Sorry for the potato quality but check the link in my profile above ^^ to watch this and more of my 2014 feats that I didn’t post to insta. Much love for 2015 #parkour #freerunning #boston #redline #mbta’’
Though Polin successfully made it to the other side, the MBTA was less than pleased.
“There is nothing impressive nor cool about it,’’ MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo said in an email. “An incredibly foolish and extraordinarily stupid act.’’
Transit Police are looking into the matter, Pesaturo added.
Polin, who has a sizable following on social media, regularly posts videos of his leaping exploits around Boston. Thankfully for the faint of heart, not all of them involve death-defying feats.
