Mattress fall off truck, hits motorcyclist and breaks his fall

A mattress that was improperly secured to a truck simultaneously caused a motorcycle accident, and broke the rider's fall.

Dash cam footage from another motorist captured the incident, which occurred in Lopburi, Thailand, on April 25 according to a translated version of the YouTube description. 

The motorcyclist was riding on the road's left shoulder, shortly behind the pickup when the mattress flew off the truck and smashed right into the motorcycle.

The rider can then be seen putting down the bike as the mattress hits its front tire. Fortunately, the rider falls right into the mattress cushioning, his fall. According to the YouTube description, the rider was uninjured, thanks to the comfy landing pad. 

Surprisingly, this isn't the first time a mattress caused an accident while also breaking someone's fall.

In 2014, a similar incident occurred where a mattress struck a cyclist, providing a cushy landing.
