According to a new viral video, skiing behind your [horse and buggy](http://time.com/5358732/amish-uber/). In a video captured by Jennifer Staggemeyer of Waukon, Iowa, an Amish man is seen skiing on the side of the road being pulled by a horse and buggy that appeared not to have a driver. In an interview with [_KWWL_](https://kwwl.com/news/top-stories/2019/02/18/video-captures-amish-man-skiing-behind-horse-buggy/), Staggemeyer said that she initially thought that the horse and buggy was stuck in a ditch. When she got closer and saw that the this was a recreation situation, she was tickled. She did have two queries about this joy ride, however — first, how the man was able to keep his hat on during his endeavor and secondly, the safety of his feat. “We were hoping he had a spotter because what if he wiped out?” she said. “No one would know!” Watch the full clip below.
