It's all fun and games ... until a train almost kills a kid 'cuase they were playing too close to the tracks.

Australian officials released footage of the near tragedy at Flemington station near Sydney, as a sort of PSA to warn people of the dangers of messing around on the railways.

Luckily for this kid there was an adult around to lend a helping hand.
