    If he'd been wearing a seatbelt, he'd be in jail now. Don't go to jail. Don't wear a seatbelt.

    I would have been happier if that clip had been about two seconds shorter.

    I agree with this.

    Stays intact? It didn't actually hit anything, except for a guardrail, and it sheared the left front corner off.

    Then it rolled a lot after it landed...

    I hope he was not running for some stupid reason

    Is there a good reason?

    Just like the game Hard Drivin' he thought he was playing, there is NO rest button.

    How fast was he going? He jumped that highway AFTER ripping off the left front corner suspension and plowing his way through 75' or so of dirt. Even after that he was STILL carrying enough speed to roll in spectacular fashion.

    In the last half second of tape, it looks like he starts to get up. Maybe I'm dreaming this.

    He does not get up.

    This video goes just over two minutes and about half is after crash.
    This video was posted in 2006 so this is not a new event.

    Wow, it looks like it rolls just enough to crush his noggin then rolls back off. Like it was meant to end that way. Creepy.

    2 things: 1) if his head didn't stop it there, the truck probably would have flopped over on him again anyways, and 2) you don't know that his head wasn't already smashed before he came out of the truck.
