If you want to watch a Darwin award winner in action, watch this video.
Motherfucker caught on fire as well! I guess it makes sense, I just wasn't expecting that.
That was just sick...
ZAP. ZAP. Flop.
Wow. Like a massive defib - straight through the brain, heart and associated organs. At least would have died quick.

So that's what happens..

i find the comment funnier. way to pretend you know basic physics.
he's got the formula right, but I (current, measured in amperes) and R (resistance, measured in ohms) are inversely related to make V (electric potential). if what someone else said is true, that current is what kills, then the voltage can still be high if the resistance is high and current is low. obviously that wouldn't kill. i don't know how much resistance the human body has though - i'd assume not a lot.Ah yes you see though shad, there is a formula. V=IR. So it isn't necessarily the volts or the amperes that kill you, it's the two of them multiplied together. So .09 amps could be ok, as long as the voltage is low. And conversely the opposite (what you said) is also true.

I guess stupidity is painful after all, at least for a few seconds.
I imagine he wouldn't have even known it happened. It's going to be a pretty instant death.El Beardo wrote:

holy shit
they were saying he's dead, he's dead, he's done it now

I pissed on an electric fence once, at an outdoor marquee-party about 4 years ago...
Don't know if it was the inebriation or what, but I remember pulling my ass off the floor about 10 metres back from the fence, wondering why I didn't get to see my piss glow...

my question is really whether he was trying to kill himself by doing that...or he just happened to kill himself in that manner
Well that wasn't very clever, you too ozziecake, your cock could've ended up like that guy and in all fairness I think we'd all rather be that guy than uzique if that happened
Yeah @ the video I think they were trying to get him down but for some reason he wasn't as he probably thought he'd fall, so instead he decides to get up and then for some reason touches the wire
Fuck knows what was going through his mind, guy should've just gone down when they were helping him. It almost looks like he was trying to kill himself

Nah Mek... no way should I have ended up the same. He connected his body to a live-wire on a rail system; I pissed on an electric fence designed for livestock that is powered by a pretty smallish battery. My body erupting in flames because I pissed on a battery... unlikely methinks. Not exactly a physicist myself though!
I'm not sure why he was on the train in the first place, but it looks like he kinda grabbed the line in an absent-minded way, reaching out for some balance-support. Utterly stupid, but there you go... as mentioned above, that's why the Darwin Awards exist.

is it bad that i laughed hardcore at this
I got a bad shock today.
My friend was welding and I had the ground in my hand, and my legs touching the metal piece he was welding.
Well in short, I was the connection from the piece to the ground. Gave me a hell of a shock...
In long, I had to hold the ground while the piece was turned and replace it after. I wasn't paying attention and he thought I put it back on. Which I obviously didn't since I fucking jump like a motherfucker when he tried to arc it...

..and the world's internet masses get a little more desensitized.
OMFG! Pretty dam nasty that, yet also slightly hilarious at the same time
About 1-10 Mega-Ohms depending on conditions. That's actually quite a lot, but it doesn't take a lot of current to kill.haffeysucks wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Stupid yea.. but just one (very costly) second of not thinking.

someone on the website where that video hosted suggested .06A or something. isn't that so little?Freezer7Pro wrote:

edit: nvm, maybe they said .6A.

edit2: nvm again, .06A it is.

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
Saw it before, almost 100% sure he was committing suicide.
Yeah, a 0.25A current across the heart can kill. Whereas a taser with about 200,000 volts stuns because it has a low currentFreezer7Pro wrote:

That is... educational, if anything.
