Here's a similar situation, but the person is lower and further back in the bucket. But it's still hazardous to be riding in a bucket like this. As the loader builds up speed, it begins to lope and the bucket begins to move up and down. If the driver needed to stop suddenly, there would be nothing for the person in the bucket to hold onto. The person would go flying out, and the loader would probably run over him/her. Also, the operator cannot see anyone down in the bucket like that. The operator has no way of knowing if someone is in there or not.
