What's the objective here? The excavator is going to drop a boulder, which is going to roll down the hill onto the excavator and kill both operators?

The excavator is dangling and is stationary. Any force it exerts against the cliff would have an opposite reaction and cause movement and most likely rotation as well. This is probably a hoax but I can't see the video cues. Can anybody debunk this?
