Yikes! Yikes!! And triple yikes!!!

If that was me they'd have to carry me out of the truck and up the bank because my whole body would be a quivering mass of Jell-O....

WOW...OMG! He has some thanking to do to someone. I only see a break in the guard rail on the other side of the drainage tunnel, I hope he didn't jump it or something.
BTW is that like a little village at the bottom?lol

The rescuers don't seem rattled. Someone mentioned on another forum that it's a photoshop, but I can't see it being one.
