The guy's attitude and stupidity is the whole point. The tornado is just there to show proximity with death that he is apparently not afraid of.
The guys was a loving badass. He wasn't even afraid because he knew it wouldn't hurt him.
You heard him say "It's not big enough, it will pass right over me." And well it did.
We didn't even flinch.
He wasn't stupid about it, he knew how it would go down.
It wasn't funny, but it wasn't stupid either. It would be stupid of him if he were picked up and thrown after he said he wouldn't be.
