Merry pedestrian doesn't realize he almost got mauled by a dump truck

There are some days in life when seemingly nothing can bother you -- including a speeding dump truck, two inches from your face.

Take a look at this cheery pedestrian who seems to have no idea that he's sitting at death's door. As he crosses the street, an out-of-control dump truck nearly drives straight into him.

Imagine, for a second, having "death by dump truck" inscribed on your headstone.

But this pedestrian is far too chill to let any marauding truck get in his way. The vehicle just misses him and the pedestrian marches forward, seemingly, and blissfully, unaware.
