Ingenious Moment Digger Pulls Two People On Makeshift Sledge Around In Circles In The Snow

This is the ingenious moment a digger speedily pulls two people around in circles in the snow on a makeshift sledge apparently fashioned from two tyres.

The footage was filmed in Luoyang, which is a city in central China’s Henan Province, on Saturday, 22nd January.

The man operating the excavator, named as Mr Li, reportedly tied a rope to the makeshift sledge so that he could pull his friends around using the hefty machine.

Mr Li said that the machine had been kept in the area for two or three days, and he decided to use it to have some fun with his friends.

The footage shows the two people sitting on the tyres, which are attached to the digger with a strap.

The wheels of the digger are stationary, but the mechanical arm, with its excavator bucket at the end, can be seen going around in a large circle, pulling the makeshift sledge at speed.

A large circular mark can be seen in the snow on the ground, showing that the sledge had apparently been going around the digger quite a bit before the footage started.

No one was injured in the stunt and it is not believed that the authorities are investigating the incident.

It is currently unclear if the digger operator broke any rules by pulling off the stunt with his friends.
