that was amazin. the guy livin was a miracle. not only did the hit leave a dent for the guy to not get crushed, but he had actually died and started breathing on his own.

Huh... Ive seen that video floating around for YEARS... It was always assumed to be fake because there was never any story...and come on. Who's luck is that bad? haha.

But thats pretty crazy, if it is in fact real, how the hollow spot rolled over the guy. Still tore him up pretty bad Ill bet, just didnt squish him.

I wonder if he had any ground for compensation since he was crossing the street when he wasnt supposed to??

I didnt know how old it was when my friend sent it to me since the video was just imbedded in the email. When I was trying to find a better video of it I found it had happened in 2004. I was sure someone would say they'd seen it and tell me it was old but I posted it anyway for those that may have not seen it. I am surprised the guy lived at all. Looked like the bottom of the SUV is what hit him first...just amazing.
