Wow. That guy is stupid. Unless they actually measured it, that could have easily killed him.

Hard to tell, but considering how wide streets are and the fact that the bus did not even attempt to stop, I am guessing he was actually on the OTHER side of the bus and it did not actually go OVER him.

At first I would have agreed that he's running to the other side of the street but after watching it a few time I have to call BS. Count his steps..... it appears once he hits the street he makes maybe two or three steps before dropping. Most streets I know having traffic going as fast as this taking two or three steps would put you in the middle of the first lane much less the second. Also note the car that barely misses him coming from the left.... I saw a brief glance to the left when he was running towards the street but for a car coming that close at that speed he didn't pay any real attention to it.... there's no way you run across the road like that and not look (not glance) at the car coming from the left.

If it ain't Scottish...it's crap!
this one has been around for a long time. simple time lapse...video the guy and lay down when all is clear, then shoot the bus and traffic.splice it all together in a adobe premier or final cut pro or sony vegas.

Nice editing.
The bus looks fake.
The shadows are all wrong.
The bus has shadows opposite of his shadows.. and the reflection in the water is a nice touch..

I'm gonna vote for editing as well. The kid is casting a shadow about as long as he is tall, suggesting the sun is about 45° above the horizon. The bus' shadow falls directly beneath it, meaning the sun would have to be more or less overhead.
The reflections in the puddle don't pass muster, either. The angles don't look right. The reflection of the bus filled the puddle entirely and included the top of the yellow sign on the side of the bus. The top of the car was close to the same apparent height as the yellow sign. Being closer to the puddle, at least a portion of it should have been reflected...rather than none at all.
Finally, notice how the puddle darkens considerably as the kid runs back toward the camera. During most of the video, it seemed to reflect bright overcast. In the span of about three seconds, it looks like dark rain clouds move in. However, the overall scene brightness doesn't appear to change.
