you guys are just trash
Now I know what a garbage truck is called in England.
Sorry if that sounds a little insensitive, really sorry to hear about the driver, but it's just interesting to know that a garbage truck is called a bin lorry in England.

yeah how dare people take a photo of something highly unusual
Poor guy, gave his life to try and stop his employer's insurance from paying out and probably him losing his job
I bet if he realized the danger he wouldn't have done it, probably a split-second panic decision
This is the most British article

I've never heard of them being called a bin lorry. It's probably a regional thing but where I live they are called rubbish trucks.
wait up, did he try do stop the truck barehanded?

Or just "the bin men"
[QUOTE=greeds;46555594]wait up, did he try do stop the truck barehanded?[/QUOTE]
I think he maybe was crushed trying to get back into it to hit the brakes maybe.
We call them all, including truck, the bin men.
People just call the truck bin men as well as it's easier.

I saw a video on Liveleak of a woman getting what looked like plates out of a dumbwaiter that came down. When she had just one more handful of plates to get, she hit the button to send the dumbwaiter back, then stuck her upper body in the dumbwaiter to grab those last plates before it moved out of reach. Of course she got pinned since she moved too slow.
Some people take the most foolish chances, they get too complacent is my guess. I'm sure if he ever thought about how he'd die it never involved being crushed by his own runaway truck.

Ye, do you remember [URL="http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/790410.shtml"]that chinese couple that crushed themselves trying to park backwards in a parking lot[/URL] a last year? She crushed the man into the wall, then opened the door to look back and crushed her head between the the open door and the parking space wall.
Idk, in quick situations stupid is what you get.
