We live in a truly crazy world when people throw themselves under the wheels of a large truck for whatever reason. Who knows if the man featured in the video jumped under the carriage of the fuel-tank lorry to kill himself or attempt a twisted and utterly moronic insurance scam, but we’re glad with the outcome.

The experienced truck driver, who must have seen this happen before, was paying attention to the man through his exterior mirrors and quickly pressed on the brakes when he did what he did saving his life.

Seeing is believing so head past the jump to watch the incident through the lens of the dash-cam from a following vehicle.
