Kazakh stuntman replicates Van Damme Epic Split
A Kazakh stuntman performed a split between two moving fire trucks without fall protection in Uralsk.
A video, filmed for advertising purposes, spread across social media, featuring fire trucks manufactured by UralskAgroRemMash (UARM), a local producer of specialized vehicles.
UARM noted that the stunt was performed by a professional stuntman with many years of experience, under the supervision of specialists, while the video aimed to promote domestically produced fire-service equipment.
«The video is not intended to be provocative or to encourage imitation of the actions shown. Its goal is to inspire, express pride in domestic achievements, and highlight the potential of our industry,» the company wrote in the comment section, thanking users for the large number of views and comments.
The ad was inspired by the famous 2013 video «The Epic Split» by Volvo, featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme going down into a split between two reversing trucks. The video got millions of views, emerging as one of the most popular vehicle ads.
