My baloney has a 1st name,,, I don't believe any of these videos, all AI generated. 1st, this guy would never be able to prevent a tipping semi from going over by merely standing on the tire, and 2nd, no marks in the dirt? Don't you think it would show the tires sinking? No sir, I just don't think that could happen.
OlegMel, W923 and buzzarddriver Thank this. -
I have to mostly agree but in the right situation a driver could definitely do that and keep it from tipping……there’s a guy at the shop who occasionally keeps our payloader from nose diving with to big of load on the front…..or I will never forget unloading at a particular place in Clinton il where this huge guy….probably 450 plus jumped on the back of a 10k forklift as it was tipping frontwards because the driver hit reverse a little too hard with to much on the front….just don’t tell osha….to bad I don’t have any pictures201 Thanks this.

I've had situations like that, jump on the back of a forklift, but this is way different. On my FB page, I always get tragic LOOKING videos, horrendous crashes, and sometimes, it is almost impossible to tell if it's real, EXCEPT, for sharp observers, there is always some giveaway it's fake. For example, on many of the videos, the trailers always come off the tractor, and that almost never happens, AND, when the trailers DO come off, the freakin' tail lights are still on,,,now, we all know that can't happen. This narrator of these videos is known for false depictions, and this is no different. Yeah, right, like the guy is going to hold back 40 tons from going over,, and no freight fell out? Good job,,,
W923 Thanks this.
