It was obvious that an average guy who is multiple times weaker than them could no way lift that log. This is quite dangerous you could injure yourself easily to lift heavy without being used to it.

@@avengednightmare that's cool I wish I could have been there while they were filming

[@boogerz2000]

Who designed this? As some other people already mentioned, the rack is too high. Also, with something that can easily roll like a log, the way they have the rope looped around it is causing the guys to roll it forward into them making balancing and controlling it much harder. The handles are also too long, creating a longer moment arm for balancing as well. The rope should have been anchored around the log with the handles pinned at their base and coming off it at a perpendicular angle, as well as being shorter so the hands are closer to a front rack position.

[@gundorstoneskin5900]

All very good points.

[@Voodoo_Robot]

Also there should be a stopper on the end. The way it is now if that log decides to roll forward at the end it will cut the man carrying it in half as it falls from the rack. But it did not happen so maybe i am just overthinking this.
