This is definitely in that "only funny given that miraculously nobody appears to have been injured or killed" category of videos. Exactly in that fucking hilarious sweet spot between boring and gore.

For every one where someone doesn't get hurt that appears on social media, a dozen end in gore that don't.

I love that lean forward towards the end to counterbalance the steam roller.

I do wonder what was going on. It seems like there was a plan with that stick.

It was supposed to chock the roller. LOL, little flat for the purpose.
