Apparently only the driver is in there, at least for the jump. The ramp was built by a corps of engineers (see the video). It's a test for ways to cross rivers - all the crew would get out and I guess cross on a rowboat or dinghy, and the driver would jump the tank across and then they'd join up on the other side
Fascinating. Thank you
