When tipping is discouraged - pRICE cUBE - 03-02-2017

Watching this, you start to wonder if you ever really understood anything about physics at all. There’s so many times when watching this where you’re sure that truck’s going to end up on its side. And yet it doesn’t. Is it skill? Dumb luck? An eerie ability to bend the laws of nature? A box full of anti-gravity chili? Who knows.

One of the commenters on that page suggested that the truck was transporting pallets of toy gyroscopes.

Dumb luck that it didn't tip over at the onset and I don't see the outcome as favorable.
I would like to see a few more seconds of that video, cuz, I don't think the driver was entirely out of danger and probably crashed.

The hazard lights came on moments after the driver's wheels locked up in the skid starting the incident. Did the driver have the presence of mind to turn them on or is there an automated system?

Ah! Thank you! The driver was indeed very lucky.

That was a remarkable amount of luck and skill, given the lack of skill that caused the initial wheel lockup.
