WATCH: Close Shave! Lucky man escaped death by the skin of his teeth

The guy was walking next to a truck when its container tumbled down and nearly crushed him.

Fortunately, the guy reacted swiftly and bolted to safety.

This shows why it is dangerous to walk around in public with earplugs in form of head/earphones.

This guy only survived because he heard the creaking noise as the truck tilted, and took off.

Also, this is why it advisable to walk against traffic and always have sight of incoming vehicles.

Watch the breath-taking close-shave below.
