Well, it could have been far worse. Imagine if something snapped and hit that guy pushing the hoop.

I was thinking they used a cheap chain or something and it was going to pwn the idiot pushing.

That's sort of what I was expecting. As it stands, it looks like the only casualty was the back glass and maybe some heavy scratches.
