Man Jumps Onto Truck as Dare, Then Calls 911

[Jazzy]

(June 20) -- What apparently began as an alcohol-fueled prank turned into a pretty scary ride for a 24-year-old Ohio man.



Very early Friday morning, Brandon R. Farmer and a few friends were walking around in Washington Court House, Ohio, when they spotted a semi-truck trailer stopped at a red light.



Based on a dare, Farmer jumped onto the rear rail of the vehicle before the driver hit the gas, according to authorities.



Farmer indicated that his intent was to ride on the back of the semi trailer rail until it stopped at the next traffic signal in the downtown and then to dismount, Fayette County Sheriff Vernon Stanforth told the Record Herald.



Trouble was, the truck didn't stop.

I bet he won't be doing that again XD

Just goes to show that you should never do something stupid without considering what would happen if things go south and what could make it go south. (Also goes to show don't drink and drive, don't drink and text, and definitely don't drink and decide to jump on the back of a semi.

Stupid bugger, it's his own fault and I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

At least he was smart enough to call for help. Could have turned out a lot more tragic than how it did.
