Startling video shows the dangers of riding in the bed of a pickup truck

Have you ever ridden in the back of a pickup truck?

Well, North Carolina agencies are advising against it and a new video shows why.

The video was originally posted to the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program Facebook page as part of a Click it or Ticket campaign. It was then posted to the Kitty Hawk Police Department page, where it was shared more than 49,000 times.

The video shows a car running into the back of a pickup truck that had dummies in the back.

The dummies go flying into the air and then fall back to the ground.
