It kind of looks like he did get ran over be the front wheel. He is lucky he's alive, that's for sure. I bet they tried to pass it off like it never happened too!

Daaamn!!! So much for hooking a chain to it, huh? Why is he running after it, does he think he's gonna catch it and pull it to a stop? He's not superman, he aint gonna stop 2 tons of rolling steel. That tree sure stopped it though and it's probably just a scratch on the bumper. (They're strong)
But stupidly funny anyway.

Actually, if you look carefully, you will see the front left side of the car take a bounce in the air once it hits the bottom of the platform. The guy actually did get run over. Looks like it caught his leg and was so quick that it did not do damage to him.


The is just a case of an unload gone bad. Looks like he was unloading the car (whereever) and was about to back/drift the car off the platform. At that point there would be NO chains securing the car at all since it is his intention to just back it down. Don't think he anticipated that the brakes really ain't worth a crap if the car is off, also looks like he tried the classic tow truck move where you drift the car off the platform with one leg in and the other one out of the car, and it failed horribly (stupid move,,never understood it myself). Either way, even though he did get run over, he is very lucky.
