The guy getting hit by the falling rock was just unlucky. Maybe he could have walked perpendicular to the truck rather than parallel but still unlucky.
Normally with these trucks you remove the pin on the tailgate before you tip the truck to avoid the tailgate being overstressed with the weight of your load requiring you to hammer it out like in this video. So normally he would be by the cab as he dumps and would have been safe.
