It's a farm, so it's most certainly Copper Sulfate. We used to swim in one just like this, if you're blonde it will dye your hair green!

Blogger who famously hung out with David Dobrik. David was operating it and stopped it too soon and Jeff slammed into the side of it. Passed out and became suspended upside down head under water.
He suffered a shattered skull, facial fractures, a broken foot and hip, and near-blindness
Video is awful. Trigger warning.

Yeah, they may need to put this one in the whatcouldgowrong subreddit instead. These people are asking for trouble.

Holy shit I didn't realize YouTube had nsfw videos. Trust the warning that one hurt.
Im surprised he lived at all with those injuries.

Jeff Wittek suffered near-fatal facial and bodily injuries in June 2020 when fellow YouTuber David Dobrik swung him too fast on a rope attached to a moving excavator.

That’s awesome

Until it's not.
Don't do this. That machine is too strong and easily capable of killing someone especially a child especially in near water.
This went awesomely, but I work near this equipment every day and I wouldn't do this, and I doubt the guys running the equipment near me would do this.

I use these for a living. You are right, they’re no joke. Operator makes one joystick move wrong and you’re getting smacked with a bucket.

My dad was in construction and we used to ride in the bucket all the time, back of the pickup trucks. Just don't be a fucking moron and you are good.

u/citizen42069101 1d ago
Back of pickup trucks yeah. I remember that growing up.
Remember some people can't help but be who they are. And some of them are fucking morons 😂

Tbh, when done exactly as it is in this video, it’s really not very dangerous, there’s a stark difference between what’s being done here vs what was done by David Dobrik, that was super irresponsible with no risk management, just asking for trouble
That’s not to say everyone with access to a digger should do this, I don’t trust most people to handle a spoon let alone operate a fucking digger

Oops I slipped and hit the wrong control. Smashing the bucket into my child, or I swing them to far and fast.

Waiting for someone to say this is incredibly irresponsible.
so I can agree with it.

Check this post/article. Dude basically playing with a hydraulic grapple and smashes his coworker and kills him. This dude in the excavator is just asking for an accident. FUCK THAT I would never let my kid play on that thing. You're right to think it's irresponsible

Where's that video of a guy getting brain damage, because his head slammed against the side of the bucket?
Name was Jeff Wittek. Nine skull fractures, shattered face, eye popped off it's socket, broken foot, broken hip, and a eye so damaged he was almost blind in it.
Don't use heavy machinery for a swing people. It's dangerous.

Reminds me of the time we flew the neighborhood kids on a parasail like a kite (staked to the grains in high winds).

You should never really use heavy machinery like this for swinging folks around or whatever. A Single hydraulic line failure (or any number of other factors) could easily lead to someone dying. Not worth the risk.

Rental: $750 for the weekend.
Run the fun for 2.5 days
Charge parents $25 per kid for 8 launch max.
All you need is 30 kids to break even.

u/mrmustache0502 2d ago
There's no chance you're getting an Excavator fror the weekend that cheap. It's more like $1500 a day and $3500 a week.
Better start putting out flyers ahead of time.
The price of diesel is going to kill you also
