I think this is actually how they handle first offenders in their PTI program!! They were lucky it wasn't wintertime lol!!!

Reminds of the Redneck Olympics events I've run across while doing a search.
Given the circumstances and availability people will swing, climb, jump, slide, ride etc....on any available object.

Best thing is it appears the operator was doing the filming at the same time! Wow.

I heard the kids really liked the pile driving ride!!!! Talk about fun!!

To them I'm sure the risks seemed justified by the fun. I'm sure the grainy bouncy video adds to the intensity of it all also. Would I advise doing it? no. Would I allow someone to do that with my equipment or on my land or with people I know and care about being involved? no. Would I do it myself? Probably in my younger days, but as previously stated by someone else some of the things I did in my younger years makes that look not nearly so bad. The more experience we have, the better we are at identifying the dangers around us and the less likely we are to do things like this. Youth is a wonderful thing, too bad it's wasted on the young...

Classy response.

Hey, they're Russians. There was prob a bottle of vodka somewhere in the cab of that excavator! It eases the pain of being a Russian. The kids may have had a little taste too! Goofy little comrades.

Seriously, that is a tragedy in the making, huh.

Agreed. I don't have kids but if I did there's no way that I would let them do that.

But if I caught them doing that they'd get their butt whooped with daddy's belt.

There are lots of posting of that video on YouTube, but the one below has by far the most views so is probably the original.

It has this as part of the description:
"These guys had the bright idea on a hot summers day to take an excavator to the creek and have some fun. "

Water Park in Russia




You can play with an excavator in a pool, too:

Perhaps the KGB, under Putin's auspices, is attempting to improve their torture techniques? Since the CIA caught HE*L regarding Water Boarding, the Russians may think that this type of torture would be more acceptable in the World Community. Then after the Intel is gathered, then the Soviets can use the Bucket to hide the body or bodies. Just joking, but the Russians still have Gulag. Putin is a follower of Stalinism.
