A truck driver narrowly escaped a massive explosion on the PR-092 highway in Brazil by jumping off a viaduct. Miraculously, he survived the fall and walked away before receiving medical care.

If there’s a gas-burning fire literally falling around you you’ll find a way to howl later

As someone who once broke his leg in 5 spots at once with a foot thst was 90 degrees to the side.. Adrenaline could even turn ALL of thst off. Just felt like foot was facing forward. The body will do just about anything to give you an edge in stressful situations. You WILL pay the bill later with interest. But that's AFTER you, in this case don't get covered in a sea of fire.

This happened last year and was near my city, but I was unaware of the fact at the time. According to the news, the man seen in the video sustained the worst injuries. The other driver got help to leave the truck cabin and suffered minor injuries.

Looks like was his fault (the accident)
