    I would be surprised if the driver survived that bounce.

    He sure doesn't look ok. It would seem that as the benching was pretty level that it started tipping to the back then something let go and it began a side tip as well. The load seemed well balanced as much of it exits via drivers side at end of recording. Viewing a couple of more seconds before may explain why. maybe the passenger side rear wheels were in a divot. why was he hanging out the door: checking out the lift or trying to counter balance instead of dropping the tip back down?.
    Hard way to learn a lesson if he survived (no superman suit).

    He got brutally catapulted — but at least thrown clear of the truck.

    Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a model too. Still well done.

    It looks like it must have been a model, too little damage to the truck
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    definately looks like it. It doesn't look like any rock body that i've seen. who would overload with that sized rear rock in that position?

    That is a riprap body and the tailgate has high clearance opening. But to put a bolder of that size in one of those bodies even the ones we made out of T1 And AR400 would destroy the tailgate as it rolled over it

    I wonder if it was a school assignment. It is a bit scary how easily things can be faked now. Sometimes we can't even trust what "see" with our own eyes..

    Since none of the wheels show suspension or even movement up and down, I agree with the model position. The front wheels would have moved when the weight came off. The filming was set up to capture the specific movement as the truck tumbled. The hydraulic ram would likely have snapped with the lateral force exerted although it was minimal.
