A friend who has been a track inspector on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor has expressed the opinion that this video is not authentic. He thought it might be some sort of manipulated images, since in his experience (having had a similar one-train close call), being able to leap up and into the clear so quickly after the initial jump is highly unlikely.

Just this past week in Philadelphia, a track inspector was killed by a train running "wrong main," even though his companion escaped.
