An electrical worker is lucky to be alive. On Thursday, just outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a man was suspended in a bucket over an intersection working on a traffic light when an 18-wheeler turned - and WHAM!. The bucket was destroyed, and the man was left hanging upside down. His harness possibly saved his life. Amazingly, he only sustained minor injuries.
Here’s the wild video captured by a driver’s dashcam.

David Seng (@seng_david47192) ~ Major mistake by that crew. That lane should have been blocked by cones. There should have been signage in place. Sad to say, but the fault was not the truck driver. Although, that's pretty bad situational awareness.
There’s got to be easier, less scary ways to get famous.
Yeah, there is. You either have an ass like Kim's ...
Or you have an ass like ribit's ...
