They're going backwards...

I suspect they had the trucks parked, VanDamme parked himself on the mirrors, and then they started slowly rolling forward and closing the gap, which allowed him to stand up.

Impressive, even with the trickiness.

Not sure that it was a trick. Here is the rest of the series.

Pretty easy to have a rig, harness on him and just edit it out. It is cool but somewhere in there it is a trick.

Seems there was no trick.

Volvo's spokesman Vilhelmsson says the action is indeed real.

"There was a safety line" attached to Van Damme that is not visible in the ad, he says, but the actor did do the split between the moving trucks.

"There were rehearsals for several days," he says. "But what you see in the film that is one take without any breaks."
