The cameraman seems quite fearless as he repeatedly tells the operator to go down (bajas). After the slide, his final comment refers to someone's "madre" or mother.
I don't see a ROPS, although it's hard to tell for sure. With or without a seatbelt, that operator would be lucky to walk away.

That's the craziest heavy equipment video I have ever seen!!
It would be nice and IMO should be required to provide a little additional info when these videos are submitted, like the video of the grain siloh being demolished, the building rolled over on the boom and somewhat pulled the excavator into a cascade of unthinkable debris. But that could also hamper the publishing of many funny and informational clips that we all enjoy. You know it makes me and I'm sure others wonder was this guy experienced or was it his first time in the seat. (did he, maybe ask his buddy. hey can I drive it?) not operate it. Can you imagine climbing into a machine for the first time and ride that out. Sometimes I will think too much on a situation but this is one of the most troubling videos I've seen on here.
