Thats a good take on it. Its not explictly clear what gear he has on under the red jacket, but it looks like it might be a motercycle suit. These are full body and tend to be armored with kevlar and other material in order to blunt abrasion/collision damage.

With one of those suits, what looks like a good helmet and no bike to roll on top of you, you would likely survive a 30-60 mph "crash" off the end of the truck mostly unscathed.
