Leaving the safety of a vehicle in an incident such as this, no matter how clever you think you are, is stupid. He isn't red mush on the ground because of luck, not ingenuity.
You're welcome to your opinion but the fact remains he pulled it off. We have no idea what the guy's thought process was (for all we know he could be the next Bruce lee). WWe don't know what kind of risk accessment he did all we know is he took a gamble and it payed off.
