Yep, seen that ID10T before, just not in person (thankfully).

The guy has bald tires on his truck which he found out the hard way. He is struggling to fix his problem which he actually does albiet in a very unsafe manner, imo. Whether or not the dude with the video camera offered help we don't know, but to stand there and videotape and laugh at the guy is bad karma. Maybe I'm missing something but the guy didn't really appear to be doing anything stupid other than not realizing his tires were shot before he backed in.
Granted he put that kid's life in jeopardy by having him sit on the front of the jetski, but heck it actually worked.

I just think A-hole is the wrong description for the driver of the pickup. Dummy, idiot, moron, maybe, but the camera man is the a-hole, with his snide comments.
Now, maybe there is more to this and the camera man did offer to help and was rebuffed, rudely??

Sure seemed tio me to be trailer backed in WAY too far, but maybe slid there.

Unless the camera man had a truck and a tow rope I don't see how he could have been much more help. They had two people already taking chances. To put yourself between the truck and trailer to push would have been stupid. Maybe just having a few people jump in the bed of the truck would have helped. Who knows. Looked like he just backed it in too far. I doubt he does that again.

+1 I was walking with the kid's marching band in a parade this past football season and saw some kids (5 yr old range) riding on flatbed trailer dangling their feet over the edge in front of the trailer tires. I nicely mentioned to an adult on the trailer with them the danger if one of them slipped off in front of the tires.

Uhhhh, yeah that's what I said.

Ha ha, I knew I'd catch heat for defending the guy. I'm just saying I've seen a lot stupider things than that
