Semi truck strap binder versus human jaw

Damn, I was behind a landscaping truck about 10 years ago going north on the 470 loop in CO and in almost slow motion I watched a spade shovel catch the wind, flip up into the air about 20 feet and start coming down right at me. Switching lanes as quick as I could, I watched the thing touch down right where I would have been.

Situational awareness is a big deal.
