If you’re a parent, then this is for you.

Knowing the full extent of the real life dangers in the world around us, you might have that instinctive urge to keep your child away from anything that threatens their life. It could be a swing, or it could be travelling on a bus.

Or, like the example below, it could be a slow-driving truck.

Riding home from school in Ha Noi, Vietnam earlier this month, two boys on bicycles scrambled to get out of the way, reports Mashable:

The boys pulled over to the side of the narrow road to let the truck pass, but one of the boys lost his balance.

After going up on the small curb, the boy lost momentum, and toppled over into the street just as the truck was passing. Somehow, be it sheer luck or quick reflexes from the truck driver, the boy escaped getting run over, though it appears his backpack was underneath the truck’s tire.

Take a look for yourself, with the action towards the end of the video:

Yeah, I am not too sure even the boy knows how lucky he is.
