Ice Bucket Challenge excavator goes wrong

When we were putting together our original roundup of Ice Bucket Challenge videos, we were surprised at just how many we were able to find with people using heavy equipment. We were also surprised that none of them included people being seriously hurt since standing under an excavator, loader bucket or dump truck and letting hundreds of pounds of water fall directly atop your head sounds like something that could go horribly wrong.

And that’s where the video below comes in.

In the video, Ryan Pflederer attempts to take the Ice Bucket Challenge. But when he tells the operator of the excavator to drop the water there seems to be some confusion regarding the controls. And then…well, watch the video for yourself.
