A pick-up truck driver has experienced the shock of his life when his airbag deployed as he reversed off a pole – sending his sports cap flying.<\/p>\n
The man, who sat in the driver’s seat of a Chevy Silverado, had managed to drive the vehicle halfway up a pole somewhere in Northern America.<\/p>\n
Footage showed the moment he reversed the truck backwards, gradually backing it down from the pole which appeared to hold a sign in a car park.<\/p>\n
A man filming encouraged the driver, saying: ‘Almost. Keep going, keep going. You got it, you got it.’<\/p>\n

The man, who sat in the driver’s seat of a white pick up truck, had managed to drive the vehicle halfway up a pole somewhere in Northern America<\/p>\n
It is assumed the truck must have had a significant impact with the pole because the cement at its base is cracked, with the bollard at an extreme angle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the truck collapsed back down to the ground the driver was jolted from side to side by the force of the impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the man filming shouted ‘there you go’ there was a sudden pop sound.<\/p>\n
The driver’s hat went flying out of the open window as the airbags were dramatically deployed.<\/p>\n
One comment read: ‘That’s turned a $3,000 job its a $30,000 one.’<\/p>\n

As the man filming shouted ‘there you go’ there was a sudden pop sound. The driver’s hat went flying out of the open window as the airbags were dramatically deployed<\/p>\n
The video quickly went viral on TikTok, where it has been liked 2.3million times.<\/p>\n
Another comment read: ‘My jaw dropped so fast when I realised that was an airbag.’<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘I thought he exploded the first time I watched it.’<\/p>\n
The video uploader was quick to reassure those in the comments that the driver was completely unharmed.<\/p>\n
They wrote: ‘He didn’t. He was okay. Thought the video was hilarious and wanted it to go viral.’<\/p>\n
