Dude is 53 years old....

Perhaps Twalgamuth with his new hips could pull that off?

I recognize the Enya tune . . . but who is this Jean Claude guy . . .

Nice Collection of Volvo Truck Commercials

watch the road. He started out in the splits and the trucks came together standing him up

In the video it was the other way around. He started legs together and the trucks were driving backwards and put him into a split.

I was more amazed at the capability of the drivers to be able to keep a straight line like that while driving backwards. May be that dynamic steering assist really works?

Don't count the Swedish out yet. Volvo is the creator of some very impressive engineering. Cars that double as snowmobiles and crash wagons and now this....amazing.

The "teaser" video says the trucks are going backwards.

If you watch carefully, it's the straight truck that makes the move outward. The semi holds it's line and keeps going straight back.

If he fell it might have been an issue. I wonder if there was not some kind of safety arrangement. I saw the crane present in one of Chris Angels air walks. You could not see the suspension cable though. Impressive commercial never the less.

Yes, there was something to catch him that with the front camera angles we could not see. Still would fling you against the truck and hurt.

That would be a lot safer and would look natural in reverse.
