You need a mattress

that's pretty crazy. looks like the mattress wasn't secure and it flew out and under the cyclist? I would think if the guy actually got clipped by the truck itself it would have been a bit more violent... either way, yikes and wow.

Yes, it does look like the mattress hit the cyclist not the truck. Incredible.
