This Russian DIY Carnival Ride Looks As Fun As It Is Dangerous [Video]

Fact: The degree to which a carnival ride seems to imperil your life is directly correlated to how much fun it is. With that in mind, here are three Russian knuckleheads demonstrating the ultimate in DIY thrill ride technology by riding in the bucket of a construction digger that spins them around and periodically dunks them underwater. What could go wrong?

This looks like an absolute blast, and I’m not going to lie — part of me would love to try it. The rest of me, though, is just glad that teenaged Ian and his no-good friends were never given access to heavy construction equipment. We would have had some laughs, sure, but that story would definitely have ended in an emergency room.
