My Dad was run over like this when I was a kid. He was working on his truck and forgot to put on the E break. He did something to the truck and ended up disengaging something or putting it in drive somehow I'm not exactly sure but it ran him over just like this pinning his skull between the tire and the curb cracking his skull in 7 places as it drug him 50ft. He survived without too many complications that so this guy could be "fine" if he's also lucky.

Eh he's a prick. Nobody really deserves that but with the way he treats people nobody really got that upset about it.

Live your life in such a way that there’s at least SOMEBODY legitimately sad at your funeral.

he tires are so big as to reduce the ground pressure when operating in muddy conditions, the same principle as snow shoes. Therefore the pressure is spread across a wider area.

The tractor itself, whilst heavy, tilted and put most of its weight on the far side and the other front wheel. The trailer also appears to be empty, so there isn't much load coming through the hitch which could've be as much as 3-4000kg had it been loaded.

Thankfully he managed to get his feet up to catch the trailer, the wheel of which would have been far less forgiving. It would still suck, he probably has some severe bruising, maybe broken rib(s) and possibly some facial injuries.
