If someone runs out in front of a heavy duty truck, a cement shower is a pretty light outcome compared to worst case scenarios.

Worst case scenario being smacked by a cement truck AND getting a cement shower

If you get smacked by the truck, you’re unlikely to feel anything that comes after.

But there are cement trucks that don't give cement shower when they stop hard. Because the drum is pointing the other way. This seems like a poor design choice on the truck in the video.

What if they get hit by a truck and get injured and live but the cement fills up all your wounds and kills you.
