An amazing video has emerged of an escape artist tied to roller coaster rails narrowly walking away from being crushed.

In the footage, filmed at a theme park in Hubei Province on Monday, the performer can be seen opening several locked chains and a set of handcuffs within thirty-five seconds, just in time to avoid being run over by the passing cars.

According to news reports, the performer, Dean Gunnarson, is a Canadian escapologist who is famous for his large-scale stunts.

He said this was his first performance during his trip to Asia and would perform for another week during the China National Day holiday.
