A deadly game of chicken:  Indian teenagers risk their lives standing  on tracks in front of train before  leaping into river at last second Group spotted running in front of  speeding trains in Lucknow,  Uttar Pradesh They gather on Daliganj Railway Bridge and  wait as trains race towards them At the last possible moment the boys leap off the  bridge into the River Gomti  By John Hall This is the terrifying moment a group of Indian teenagers narrowly  avoided being killed while playing a deadly game of chicken on a railway line. The group were spotted running out in front of a large passenger  train on the tracks of the Daliganj Railway Bridge in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. As the speeding train closes in, the teenagers run along the tracks -  each waiting until the last possible moment to leap off the open-sided  bridge into the roaring waters of the River Gomti below. Taking a risk: The teenagers spend the hot summer afternoons running  out in front of large passenger trains as they cross the Daliganj  Railway Bridge in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chicken: As the speeding train closes in, the teenagers run along the tracks -  each waiting until the last possible moment to leap off the open-sided  bridge into the roaring waters of the River Gomti below Waiting: Despite the dangerous nature of the act, the young men are  adamant that none of them have ever been hurt playing on the tracks The teenagers gather on the bridge every day at noon,  as temperatures soar to an unbearable 45C. Standing on the tracks, often with the trains only metres away, their  terrifying game of chicken involves competing to be last person to  leap from the bridge into the refreshing water below.   Along with the challenges posed by the sweltering heat, fast moving  trains and deep waters, the teens also have to try and  evade local law enforcement. 'We do this every summer. This is a great way of having fun.  Otherwise, going about normally around the river is very boring,'  18-year-old Mukesh Kumar, the first to jump from the bridge, said.  'We also have bets sometimes about who jumps last and waits for  the train to come nearest,' he added.

They say their incredibly dangerous  acts help to alleviate their boredom. Police officers have a tough time manning the tracks and  stopping teenagers diving off the bridge. 'The police come once in a while, but once we have jumped off,  they cannot chase us. We outrun them every time,' Varun Jadav,  a teenager who frequents the spot, said. 'Also, it is so hot at that time of the day that even the railway  track is boiling hot. So when we are here that no one  comes around this spot,' he added. Despite the dangerous nature of the act, the young men are  adamant that none of them have ever been hurt playing on the tracks. 'We do this a lot, so there is no question of  getting injured or anything,' Kumar said.
