Thank you, Sarosh and Joe Meadmaker for your help.
In France, there were coal mines in the north, the center ( near St Etienne) and the south (near Grasse).
On the video, the landscape seems (for me) in the south near the Méditerranée.
So for me, the slinger would use the traditional méditerranée method. Balearic ? I can be wrong but it's just my idea.
