Lop-sided loads

On our way to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. A three hour drive on some of the best roads in India. It only took us five hours because of fog and various other not uncommon road conditions. (If you ever travel in India, you'll be happier and less stressed if you leave any concept of timeliness back at home.)

Along the way our hired car had a puncture, which was only discovered after weaving down the road (also not an uncommon experience) for a few miles looking for a tea shop. When this truck loaded with tires came along, we had things to do elsewhere. Definitely not lingering anywhere near the car! The load was roped onto the truck. Sort of.

I wonder who the lucky fellow was that had to untie the first rope? I wonder which side of the truck he was standing? I wonder if he's still unloading trucks? I wonder what kind of accident insurance he had? I wonder if his mama knows where he is?
