It’ not a new Minhag
The Gemoro says ( Sanhedrin 64b) “כמשוורתא דפוריא.” Rashi explains “On Purim, children made a fire in a pit and jumped over it.”
The Rema (*Darkei Moshe O.Ch. 690) quotes from the Aruch who writes,”All Bachurim make an effigy of Haman and hang it on their roofs for a few days. When Purim arrives, they make a fire and they have a ring on which they hang the effigy over the fire. They jump from one side (of the fire)to the other. This ring is called **משוורתא דפורים.”
It’s not new. They do it every year. And it’s a מנהג from North Africa for 300 years.
they couldnt wait to burn the chometz.

an old custom unpracticed doesnt justify newly practicing it.
