Adventurous young gentleman swings around on an excavator bucket. Never try this at home, or anywhere else. Watching it on the internet, perfectly reasonable.

Yep everybody needs a 1/4 million dollar machine to use as a sling swing.

That could get messy if your hands slipped
Not for me! Reminds me when, as kids, my older brother & I were skylarking on the roof after fetching a ball: my brother got a sudden bit of acrophobia & I was instructed to climb down and fetch mattresses so he could jump. that wasn't enough so i had to fetch pillows as well. You probably guessed when he finally jumped from the three metres height, he only landed with one foot on the cushioned landing space: why? He didn't bend his knees (i guess) also.
That was followed by tall storys & he was sent to school with a swollen ankle: after about 3 weeks of pain & lies he confessed & it was discovered he had a broken bone in his foot & not just a sprain. Shoulda gone to truth tellers!

Just what was he thinking? He looked worse for wear than the kids: maybe embarassment. I thought he was going to tip them into the stream.
Hopefully no-one was holding on to the front edge of that bucket
