Whatever was going through this kid’s mind at the time he was doing this dumb act must be nothing less than a death wish. Kids are known to do crazy stuff without much thought about the outcome, but this particular kid took it to the next level.
The kid was found lying on the sofa on a moving trailer on the highway
From the report reaching us, a yet-to-be-identified kid was spotted lying on the sofa as the Honda Odyssey travelling at high speed on the highway. The vehicle was said to be towing a trailer down the United States motorway.

From what we learnt, the footage was taken by the pickup driver who pulled up his vehicle alongside the trailer to get a clear view of the boy on the sofa. Apparently, the kid was less concerned about his safety as he was really enjoying his time on the sofa. The video ended when the pickup driver moved level with the towing vehicle. Presumably, the pickup driver might have signalled imminent danger to the person behind the wheel of this Honda Odyssey.
Here is the clip of the strange moment a kid was spotted on the sofa on the moving vehicle recently posted on Reddit.
The kid was unperturbed by the presence of the pickup driver, as he flashed him a peace sign. Unknown to the boy, if he had lost grip of the sofa, he would have tumbled on the road and gotten himself killed by any of the vehicles using the highway at that time. This act would have created a problem for the Odyssey as well. Possibly, the driver might have suffered severe injury from a crash or even death.
