Hey, no worries, it'll buff right out. Just a little scuff.

The guy making the video shouldn't be too upset with the young guy, hopefully the pickup belonged to him and not someone else though.
I remember my first year helping haul hay with my cousins I was way too small to drag and buck bales or hook and stack them on the back of the 40's something pickup also way too short to reach the peddles and still see over the dash so my dad wired some 4" high wood blocks on each of them, with the seat slid all the way forward and a couple saddle blankets folded up behind me I drove my 5 cousins to the field we had just about finished with our last load while I was backing up to the hay stack the block on the brake peddle came off Even with the clutch mashed I still hit the hay stack hard enough to knock my cousins off the top of our load onto the stack of bales. Boy were they mad

Well that was staged....and not very well acted.

Staged video... That isn't how you react.

It takes a week for reasonably intelligent adults to certify as basic fork-lift drivers, longer with specialist machines, one of the biggest killers in UK mobile machinery incidents hence then need to certify, thankfully no one got hurt, this time...
