    I’m guessing this is why they want you to keep your hands and feet in side the ride at all times?! Seriously though that was definitely kinda intense. Being stuck like that would certainly suck!!

    Most times the seatbelt comes off when you head up the mountain. Common practice to jump out if a truck goes over on the passenger side. I know of a couple drivers that wouldn't be here today if they chose to ride it out.

    My brother rolled a loaded dump truck over when the studs on a steer tire broke off. He got a real bad case of road rash cause his arse and hip were hanging out the driver window when it hit the driver side. He was #### lucky that’s all that happened. I go back and forth about the seat belt in that situation. I don’t think there’d be enough time to react.

    Sometimes you can see the situation start to unfold. Like if the trailer slides off the road first. Pop the brakes and then hit the key on the way out if you've got time. If not, screw it. Engines can be rebuilt.

    Would get my adrenaline working knowing I'm stuck and can't get out. He seems pretty calm.

    Go to the 6 minute mark. Freaking guy pulls out a pack of darts and has a smoke. If that doesn't show calmness I don't know what does.

    By “get away” I presume you mean outrun the sob dot cop who’s busting your balls over not stopping at his agricultural inspection station so he can check your grill for invasive moth species? Probably not, I tried :D
