I saw this earlier,

I was trying to figure out whether there was a driver in the vehicle (stay with me here, I have a crazy theory),
Is it possible it was an automatic that had been left in drive while the driver adjusted the ramps? I couldn't see anybody through the windscreen and they didn't seem to concered about checking on anyone inside the vehicle.

Manual that's down on power, so lots of revs being used (it does look to be part dismantled), and the drivers foot slipping off the clutch?

No idea to be honest...impressive though!

definitely a driver on board.

note forward and backwards movements while lining up etc.

Also note that the Truck driver (?) looked through the drivers side window ... and seemed to be saying something.
