An Australian man's brilliant attempt to escape the heat by swinging into a dam using an excavator has gone viral on Tik Tok.
The clip showed the shirtless larrikin dangle from a rope attached to the machinery at a rural farm as one of his mates, who sat in the control box, swung him through the air.
He flew about 15metres above the dam before cannon-balling into it, making a huge splash as a pair of dogs followed him into the water.
