HOLY F%#@!

Fear electricity.

Not trying to post this to be disrespectful in any way. It's absolutely frightening.

Damn!

I bet the poor bastard never even knew what hit him. That's scary to think that in a split second like that, he went from normal to extra crispy. When his body falls over, his arms look absolutely fried.

So difficult to tell if video is real or faked anymore, but that looks real to me. What a way to go.

All rather gruesome, I fear...

Good how everyone rushed to his aid, eh?

I don't want to actually watch it, but would somebody tell me what happens?

[steven pirie]

Lots of Indian people around a train - bloke climbs along roof - touches (quite deliberately, which is rather odd) overhead electric cable - bloke learns the laws of thermodynamics - alas he learns them a little too late!

It's all quite graphic, and it doesn't look staged or cgi...

[steven pirie]

My money's on Mercedes weakening and watching...

I don't think the guy even realized what he was touching. He was so nonchalant, you know. That was probably about 100,000 volts of juice lighting him up.

Yeah, I think you're right. Either that or it was a bad time for a lapse of memory.

It's the current that does the damage - people can sometimes survive millions of volts in a lightning strike - but even small levels of current, particularly across the chest, can be harmful.

I wonder if he knew anything about it. I guess with such a violent demise the brain doesn't even get to release the floods of endorphins so loved by near-death experiencees. Porr guy probably didn't even get his moment of paradise...

I bet it smelled like crispy grilled chicken....mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Is that a challenge?

Maybe, when the kids aren't around. You make it sound so darn titillating.

Mmmmmmm.... I wonder if anyone had a jar of BBQ sauce with them.

When I die, I only hope it's interesting so that you guys will have something to snark about.

[Tall Tyrion]

Will it involve massive amounts of electricity.... or leather?

We'll talk....
