Jumping out of a moving vehicle just before it plummets off a cliff is standard stuff for action movies and James Dean impressionists, but actually seeing it happen in real life is breathtaking. A tow-truck driver in Norway did just that, though, when the heavy truck he was towing slipped off the icy road.
The driver of the tow-truck escaped at the last moment, but the other driver was trapped in his cab for the fall. Miraculously, he survived with just a few broken bones, but looking at the truck tumble down the embankment, it’s impossible to imagine how. [BBC]

Wow.
That is the kind of video that just makes you wonder why someone was recording a truck being towed in front of them, though.
And why they seemed to calm when it happened…
so* GIVE ME THE POWER TO EDIT, I BEG OF YOU GIZGODS!
Maybe they can give the power to roof pread whilst they’re at it.
It’s because Norwegians are so cool.
Good job it wasn’t right-hand drive! Also why only one driver!? Where’s the original driver of the truck that being towed? At the bottom of the cliff!
It says in the article that he was stuck but still managed to survive. So yes, he was at the bottom of the cliff.
