Sure...that ain't fast or high. I don't want to try it at my current age and weight, but when I was young and dumb? Yea...No Problem.

I doubt it. I can believe the jumping from 10 feet up part. If you bend your legs, roll, etc. you might walk away with bumps and bruises. It's the 20 MPH truck part that makes it unlikely. When you step off the bridge your forward momentum is going to be a lot closer to zero than 20. So if the truck is a flat bed it is going to drive right out from under you. If it has a back on it (like a pickup truck) you are going to hit the back at about 20 MPH (the difference in the forward velocity of you and the truck). It would be about the same as if the truck struck you at 20 MPH. You might survive but not without a trip to the hospital first.

Well, if you can manage to build up speed to about 7 mph for the jump, in the same direction as the truck, then you would only be landing ona surface going a relative 13 mph. And as I believe that you could jump out of a car going 13 mph, onto cement that has no give and sirvive. Unlike cement, a truck will give a little (because of shocks), so yes, I believe that to be possible. It would hurt, but it is possible.
I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone do this. Its both very dangerous, and potentially deadly.

she must have suvived because she is still alive, right?
probably a 6 ft bridge and a 15 mph truck got exaggerated,
and the horizontal force is easier than the vertical,
like sliding into 3rd base

if the timing is right it can do done for one thing you are going to have oppsitite forces working or two different speeds so you are going to crash pretty hard in the truck bed if you do not stick the landing. my suggestion if you do tr it have something soft in there to take a fall if you do not stick the landing!
if you got no brains it is a piece of cake!!

If it isn't your day to go, you can survive anything.
