Probably didn't even see it coming until it was too late.

Well, my opinion is

Why the hell would you say they are dumb. It appears like they were sitting just under the bridge. If you're there, relaxing or whatever, just sitting, and suddenly you hear a giant bang and see a truck hitting the bridge, in a second you get up and want to run away from the bridge. We can see it from this video material and know something is about to happen and we oversee it all, when you're in such a situation you're just minding your business and you wouldn't be able to decide in a second if the truck was coming your way or not (i bet they already ran in that direction instinctively, away from the danger is must have felt like).

I never saw a single wreck on that road...EVER. But I always was paying attention to the vehicles and almost expecting one to jump the curb and come at me because of what mom said.
Rules:
- Always walk on the LEFT side of the road. (against traffic flow)
- Always pay attention to the sound of vehicles approaching from behind. You can tell if they are coming at you or passing by you based on sound.
-If a large truck is coming, stop walking, and don't take your eyes off it for a second.

I won't even pull over for police on the side of a major highway. I'll take the first exit, or look for a wide shoulder to park. The cops will give you shit for it, but hey, my life is more important than the cop's intentions.
This is simple to teach children. But many people don't even teach their kids to look both ways before crossing the street.

Yeah right. You are there, chilling on the grass, when a truck comes roaring at the speed of light towards you and the moment you turn your head to check what the fuck is going on your nose is already 10 cm away from the freakin smoking tyre and I can totally see you thinking "hm, ok, let's run left, that's what mummy told me. Wait, where is the traffic flow again? Gad maybe it wasn't the truck that made this sound. I know right, my momma says I'm a smart kid. Maybe I should go back chilling."

Good luck living in the freakin matrix, dude. Stuff like this happens in the blink of an eye. No room to think rationally. If you're lucky enough, the most coherent thought you'll ever have is STAND UP AND RUN LIKE THE FUCKING WIND.

If this happens to you, chances are that instead of finding yourself being a smartass on a web forum about how *you* would have acted differently, your gory pics will feistily decorate our pretty death section.
