Man almost crushed by giant satellite dish

A man has been caught on camera almost being crushed by a giant satellite dish, which he had decided to roll down a street by himself.

He was filmed trying to get the dish from the end of a driveway to the back of a nearby ute.

He inches down the street slowly, rolling the dish, which is twice the size of him.

At one point, the man has to stop and twist the dish around to face the opposite direction and it looks sure to fall on top of him.

But he manages to make it to the ute - and then the seemingly inevitable happens: Just as he tries to lift it up, the dish comes crashing down towards him.

The man had a little luck left over though, and came skirting out from under the dish just before it hit the ground.

Seemingly unfazed, he gets straight up and tries again - this time successfully.

It is not the first video we have seen of a lucky escape - and some others were in much more serious conditions.
