It seems to me that the suit had only a little to do with him getting struck. If you were driving down the road and saw a bush in the road, would you try to avoid it? I would.

It says it was night time and he did this behind a slight bend in the road, so the cars came around the bend in the dark and there he was. Cammo or no cammo, he's likely to be hit.

Often with Gillie Suits it's not so much that they look like a bush as much as they blend with the background. The object[ive] is to not look like an object.
