Uh, weightlifting question

Can someone explain to me what sort of idiocy gave rise to people doing this. A position number, internet challenge, fashion magazine article, anything!!!! I’m genuinely curious.

Full confession: I’ve put myself in an interesting position fixing things that required a highly similar movement with objects balanced across the nether region. One way trip up or down while resting on my back like in the second example. If you can’t use your head to balance things on precariously, tuck it and use general area of the other.
