THE DRIVEWAY — Trucks are incredibly helpful when you need to transport bulky items. But it can be REALLY hard to get your cargo from here to there.
A few months ago, we shared a scary video featuring an ATV loading mishap. In this new video, the stakes aren't nearly as high. There were no ATVs involved and the cargo in question was just a tiller.
But it's crazy how quickly you can be catapulted when your ramp fails. This poor guy looked like a rag doll as he was launched off his tailgate.
The good news is that no injuries resulted from this incident, as the man executed some sort of impressive body roll when he hit the ground. By the looks of it, this isn't his first rodeo. He's probably fallen off his tailgate dozens of times.
According to the video's caption, however, there was one injury suffered: "A co-worker stopped by the shop to drop off his rototiller for me to use. He had a little trouble unloading it ... only his pride was hurt in the making of this video."
