Robot arm riding: the next extreme sport craze?

Are you brave? Do you love danger? Are you a complete idiot? Have I got a ride for you. Some brave, stupid man strapped himself into a seat hanging on the end of an angry, unpredictable robot arm. Smile as he flies through the air! Wince as he comes dangerously close to smashing his melon on the cement factory floor! Feel a tinge of jealousy that he gets to ride the robot arm and you don't!

Yes, there is full video evidence of this act of extreme robot-arming, complete with giggling spectators who laugh harder every time this guys head whiffs by the ground. With friends like these…

Hit the jump for the video, friends.
