A 25-year-old man was killed when he got knocked off the top of a tractor-trailer barreling down a Texas freeway. Houston police said the man, who was not identified, either jumped or climbed on top of the 18-wheeler, started dancing, and was possibly recording himself.
As the truck went underneath a bridge, the man was knocked off and landed on the roadway below. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The driver told investigators that he had no idea there was somebody dancing on top of his truck. Authorities said the driver was released after it was determined that he was not impaired.
Officials said they are continuing to investigate the deadly accident and are trying to determine how the man got on top of the truck and why he did it.
A video shared on Facebook captured the moment the man struck the overpass and fell off the tractor-trailer.

A guy from my high school was jumping from boxcar to boxcar at the local railyard for fun. The the train started moving and he fell down to the tracks.
You can guess what happened next.
Don’t do stupid things people!

That's what "telltails" prevent. I propose that telltails be installed in front of all
highway bridges to save lives of individuals dancing on top of semitrucks.
