This is the heart-stopping moment a motorcyclist almost had his head ripped off when a truck's cargo became loose and spilled out in front of him.David Conroy, 46, was heading home from his girlfriend's house in Wigan, Greater Manchester, when he noticed a flat-bed truck approaching him on the other side of the road.Sharp edges on the 20ft roofing panels had cut through one of the straps holding them down and one suddenly swung outwards into Mr Conroy's path - straight towards his head. The quick-thinking biker, who was riding his Suzuki GSXR 600, managed to duck out of the way after spotting the panels at the last second.His cameras on his bike filmed the moment the metal came within inches of his face and the footage also shows a pedestrian narrowly avoiding being hit while walking on the pavement. Mr Conroy, a dispatch officer from Wigan, said: 'I had only just set off when I noticed this truck coming towards me.'As it approached I noticed the panels had begun to move.
