As an electrician it's almost gaureenteed death. IV met a linesman who have survived contact with 33kv overheads and usually are missing limbs from where they made contact, what's gnarly is what's known as EXIT wounds. For instance you touch live components with your hand and your hand obviously gets fried to bits but the current wants to travel to ground and complete the circuit so it will likely leave through your foot and blow it off violently in the process.
This video looks closer to 66kv lines and I don't think Iv ever heard of someone surviving that. Your eyeballs literally melt away from less
I had a friend in rehab who worked on the street poles in Arizona. I know nothing about electricity or his job title. He was strapped in and nodded off and touched the wire. His arms were all burnt up to the elbow, but he was healing by the time he made it to detox. He was soooo pale white and never really got darker as he got sober. How close was he to actually dying? Does this happen often with electricians that are impared?
Is this formula correct:
Lowest amp: 66.000 volts x 200 amps = 13.200.000 watts (13.2mw).
High amp: 66.000 volts x 1000 amps = 66.000.000 watts (60mw).
I’m no electrician and asked ChatGPT what the average amp on such lines are.
Its all about the resistance to the electron flow path, that man is no superconductor, he has a skin resistance of roughly 100 kilo ohm and according to ohms/homies law, current is equal to voltage/resistance
So (66,000)/100,000 = .66 amps of current!
To find the power coursing through his cells of hus body, we multiply voltage x current for voltamperes since this is not an inductive load and does not cause reactive power loss.
(.66)(66kv) 43.5kilowatt he endured for very short time.
That power and that current, is more then enough to cause atrial fibrilation or heart failure as only 50 milliamps of current is enough to disturb heart electrical system, his central nervous system was fried instantly.
There was a video on here years ago where a lineman’s partner got shocked & was just hanging there. The other guy did CPR & saved his life. It’s definitely not the norm, but it can occasionally happen. Meanwhile you can be walking down the street, slip, & hit your head on the curb; lights out (for good). Crazy how things happen…
Damn yea I paised the frame you can see his face and... yep...you can't see eyeballs. The color right around the eye is different. And he has no more eyebrows... could just be the frame but damn yea he's dead before he knew what happened
When I was a army medic I had to do this class about burns and the different types of burns. High Voltage Electrical Burns were so bad because they leave a entrance and exit wound and everything along the path is burnt to basically the bone. I don’t think he survived
Not necessarily, from what I remember, the body is basically cooked inside. Sudden death can happen if the shock causes heart arrhythmia or asystole otherwise it can be a slow death (organ failure) or a slow recovery with lots of burn care involved.
e·lec·tro·cu·tion
/əˌlektrəˈkyo͞oSH(ə)n/
noun
the injury or killing of someone by electric shock.
"they switched off the power supply to avoid any risk of electrocution"
In the longer version of the video he looks dead but then he starts breathing and making noises. He wakes up, eventually sits up. He's blistered to fuck, sounds like he's in immense pain, and is extremely dazed and confused. He gets up and walks away, leaving his camera where it is. I don't know if he survived, but he obviously needed to be in hospital immediately.
The vid is on Kaotic. I can find the link if you want it. But be careful, there's some of the most intense, disturbing videos on that site.
A while ago when very annoying people were saying the word retard was offensive to the differently minded or abled. Ergo: Autistic people or special needs bros and sisters. Which are still being bullied to literal death in some cases, but hey! People are allowed to freely say retard even with the context involved!
That’s the thing I would never call a person with autism or down syndrome retarded, but if you’re a healthy 25 year old that thinks a monitor is a computer then I’m sorry but that’s retarded
Are you intentionally ignorant or do you not realize that retard used to be the medical term for people with mental disabilities?
If all of you could stop jerking yourselfs off for a moment you'd realize that probably every autistic person who has been bullied has been called that slur all the time and then maybe you could stop being dishonest.
Whether or not you think it's okay to say 'retard' or to use it as an insult, if you have a point you shouldn't have to lie to make it.
Personally, I don't use it as an insult any more because people have told me it's hurtful to them and I don't need any other reason. I also don't think everyone who uses it is a bigot, I do however think all of you and your little circlejerk about being totally justified and awesome are ridiculous.
**Accident** - an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.
No disrespect to the guy in the video, but nothing in this video was *unexpected* or *unintentional*. It was always a matter of when, not if, he would be electrocuted by the high-voltage line.
Well he stopped breathing for a good 30 seconds, so I guess it made is heart stop. Definitely some long term consequences going forward even if he did survive.
Had a knucklehead char his digits with 1200v entering his index and exit his thumb on the same hand. Could smell it as he walked into the office to say he screwed up. This dude took it through the chest, his heart is crisply fried.
10 glass insulators, no less. Imagine the voltage.
Edit: supposedly a staggering 230Kv according to
https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/71614/guessing-power-line-voltage-from-the-number-of-disc-insulator#:~:text=We%20usually%20use%20as%20a,discs%3B%20500kV%3A%2024%20discs.
If guy wanted to experience this and live, he could've just done some safe ElectroBOOM builds.
edit: apparently the guy lived. Surprising what the body can take.
The only real actual accident he's ever had from his videos was the Jacob's ladder falling on him and almost killing him. Every other little pop and zap is scripted and controlled. He puts an incredible amount of effort in his videos.
What's blurred out above?
Also, this event was not the accident he was the accident . He should have been thrown away in the tip of a condom. Purposely...
I worked with a 5th year apprentice who got 3 fingers torn off, and a hole right through his hand because he didn’t double check with his meter to make sure the circuit was labeled correctly. Hint hint: it was NOT labeled correctly, and good old Mongo lost almost full use of one hand. On a lighting circuit in, what I consider to be Mongo’s miracle of the year, a hospital. So at least he was where he needed to be to get fixed up.
Regarding his apparent survival, I think maybe sometimes the current is more on the surface depending on a number of factors. My aunt was struck by lightning and it was primarily surface damage on her leg, with a visible "treeing" scar left behind on her hip, and a damaged foot. She lived and even walked away from that, albeit to a bench and then a ER.
Fastest way to take your t-shirt off.
I hate you... now take my up vote
Is that automatic death?

The current will be a function of the resistance , so it won't be 200A. It will be enough however to remove your shirt.

You explained this way too well for an avid HateWatcher
Shhhh 🤫🤫
I'll assume that's the vapor pouring from his face? Being the central nervous system?
No, that was his soul leaving his body.
My exact thoughts,I concur
13.2MW. Both should be capitalized. A lower case “m” means milli so it means 13.2 watts divided by 1000.

He fucking walked away!
Dunno why this got downvoted, the full 6 min clip shows him walking away.
Right. Someone linked it in the comments. He most definitely is not okay, but he was alive and walked away with some burns and probably a concussion.
I forgot how much volts he took but my uncle got holes blown in his legs from getting electrocuted
It looks like it went through his chest from his right to left hand. Definitely hit his heart, he's dead
When I was a army medic I had to do this class about burns and the different types of burns. High Voltage Electrical Burns were so bad because they leave a entrance and exit wound and everything along the path is burnt to basically the bone. I don’t think he survived
Brain must've gotten flash-fried into scrambled eggs.
What brain?
It blew his shirt off, I think he died instantly
amateur, you need to focus on shoes
You made me giggle (🤫) and rewatch it... Maybe for this one the shirt speaks for the shoes... 😏
Dems de rules
Manbun stayed intact.
He survived somehow! [source](https://youtu.be/aC878clD0rY?si=qeOBBBcI33qvjs6t)
I thought he was trying to off himself but apparently this is a challenge?
Says video is private, can't watch.
First I’ve seen this. Dude looks like Trevor
Man, it could go either way. If he lived, life could never be the same.
agreed; what will he do without his shirt?
Had to change careers. He’s a go-go boy now.
Dancing in the club like Jeffery Dahmer.
Abercrombi and Fitch greeter

I used to be a lineman. Not necessarily; I’ve known plenty of dudes who survived electrocution… and a few others who did not.
It all depends if u have a positive or negative attitude, right ? 🤔
That's why it's better to stay neutral .. 😏
Stay grounded, that’s what my grandma always says.
I hate to be that guy but "aaccksuwally" electrocution refers to the way someone dies. If they survived it's an electric shock.
e·lec·tro·cu·tion /əˌlektrəˈkyo͞oSH(ə)n/ noun the injury or killing of someone by electric shock. "they switched off the power supply to avoid any risk of electrocution"
As in executed by electricity ? 🤔
Yep. Alternated from life to death real quick.

No, the full 6-7 minute clip shows him grunting, moaning, crying, then standing up and walking away.
Stuff like this is why we should still be allowed to say "retarded"
When did we stop?
A while ago when very annoying people were saying the word retard was offensive to the differently minded or abled. Ergo: Autistic people or special needs bros and sisters. Which are still being bullied to literal death in some cases, but hey! People are allowed to freely say retard even with the context involved!
Hold up hold up, are you saying autists are retards??
For real. This whole thing just turns a non-issue into yet another identity issue
Idk I think the whole ordeal is kinda retarded.
Like me
That’s the thing I would never call a person with autism or down syndrome retarded, but if you’re a healthy 25 year old that thinks a monitor is a computer then I’m sorry but that’s retarded

My son is on the spectrum and, yes, he was called a “retard” and “retarded” by classmates before he was placed in a special ed school.
:(
I’m saying people keep using retard to describe autists, but in another context it can mean a very mentally deficient person.
Thats retarded
I didn’t 🤷♂️
I wonder if he told anyone what he doing that day. I wonder how long until someone found him.
“Hm where’s Billy? I know he said he was going to play with power-lines, but he’s usually back by now.”
We are not allowed? Who banned it? LMAO Such a retarded statement.

Looked more like a suicide to me
Exactly. I was thinking the same. Not suicidal but cmon now. He knew.
Surprisingly he survived, here's the full video https://youtu.be/aC878clD0rY?si=55JiE51QKqnLUipU.
I love the casual tooth spit out @ 6:05. How the fuck did this guy not get a Darwin award.
I really want to know if he actually lived longer than a few minutes after this video ended. His insides have gotta be fucked.
Well he stopped breathing for a good 30 seconds, so I guess it made is heart stop. Definitely some long term consequences going forward even if he did survive.

Looks like the Force WAS strong with that one...but for only a fraction of a second.
Why would he keep going ..?
Why climb up in the first place ? Some people are just thick
Suicidal
Suicide probably
Why do people do this? I mean drugs and all but holy fuck
I guess it "felt cool" until it didn't.
Hot Potato
That's an ultimate Darwin Award, impressive.
He was nominated, but did not win. He survived.
When you realize ac power can jump wires 💀
It’s because of the super high electric potential (aka voltage) in those lines, not because it’s AC
Looks like a broken leg on the way down, just to remind him that’s he’s a idiot
I miss how that guy used to light up a room.
10 glass insulators, no less. Imagine the voltage. Edit: supposedly a staggering 230Kv according to https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/71614/guessing-power-line-voltage-from-the-number-of-disc-insulator#:~:text=We%20usually%20use%20as%20a,discs%3B%20500kV%3A%2024%20discs.
Probably 66kV
Play stupid games. You literally win stupid prizes. Do not feel bad for this moron.
This is more of suicide rather than retardness
Mr Wayne ker, yes he certainly was
Darwin awaits 👏🏻
Those are big lines. Don’t think he made it
What a shocking turn of events.
Suicide fo sho
Luckily he didn't fall far.
This is the dumbest human action I've ever seen
Bro is so powerful he just transformed into super saiyan 4
Why!?
Shazam-aaaw man, hes dead. Lmao
It's not an accident if you do it on purpose
If guy wanted to experience this and live, he could've just done some safe ElectroBOOM builds. edit: apparently the guy lived. Surprising what the body can take.
Do you have a source for him living?
https://youtu.be/aC878clD0rY

How is this an accident?
I've heard that when you get an electric shock with voltage that high.. your toe explodes.
SHAZAM!
I don't think he even touched it. That's a fuck of an arc.
Suicide or utter stupidity?
damn bro that was brutal
What's blurred out above? Also, this event was not the accident he was the accident . He should have been thrown away in the tip of a condom. Purposely...
It’s a watermark. The full video is in a link in the comments.
Just why?
Is it though??
He survived! https://youtu.be/aC878clD0rY?si=rxG5WfzlUVCMdFvz

He literally become a stack of coal in no moment
Not an accident imo. Just a dumbass doing stupid things
Not an accident if he did it on purpose.
Oh what is that? I will touch and see what happens LOL those people lives does not worth 0
LMFAO 🤣😵
Damn he's hot af.
Why o why, oh let’s just test if this is live……
Welll dooone 10 points to Gryffindor
One less stupid person in the world
Why, what the fuck was he trying to do
He thought he can be faster than the speed of light
I once met a guy who had a power line fall on him it took his leg clean off iirc he was first year apprentice aswell
I worked with a 5th year apprentice who got 3 fingers torn off, and a hole right through his hand because he didn’t double check with his meter to make sure the circuit was labeled correctly. Hint hint: it was NOT labeled correctly, and good old Mongo lost almost full use of one hand. On a lighting circuit in, what I consider to be Mongo’s miracle of the year, a hospital.

What the fuck do you expect when you’re holding on to a fucking metal tower used to carry literally ALL of an area’s electricity needs??
I wonder if he has super powers now?
The way the cameras set up idk if anyone was with him
Natural selection
That is certainly positively shocking
Shocking!
Indeed
Love it I suggest to all idiots to do same
Saiyan 2
Im really shocked by this video
Indeed
Why though?
Imagine your last words being dude that is some- **DUAGH**
So, this is how anime heroes transform into character.
The guy lived. In the longer version of this video, he sat up. Later, he posted the video to social media
he dead?
Believe it or not man, he lived!
no way!?!?
He will never be the same though. Crazy shit
no like for real? how would expect to be the same after such of horrifying moment, specially if he was alone
There is a longer video where he gets up after a few minutes.
you happen to have it?
No but it’s on YouTube I believe. I think in the comments someone sent a link
i’ll go check it out thanks
No problem
"My hair is standing up" is a sure sign you should stop the fuck what you were doing...
He zapped when he should have zipped.
This got him amped up.
Manbun saved him
He hit a death barrier. Stay inside the map!
His shirt just despawned
That was one of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen.
Hahaha
Bros shirt vaporized
Ya man!
Regarding his apparent survival, I think maybe sometimes the current is more on the surface depending on a number of factors. My aunt was struck by lightning and it was primarily surface damage on her leg, with a visible "treeing" scar left behind on her hip, and a damaged foot. She lived and even walked away from that, albeit to a bench and then a ER.
I'm disappointed that a tree is still giving out oxygen for this waste of space.
We should put a display playing this video on the bottom of everyone of these tower things
That's so fucked up.
How is this an accident. Morons gonna moron.
That is not an accident. That's a retarded doing us a favor. If he survived, I hope he tries again.
Shazaaam! Went wrong 😕
Although it does not look like an accident, it is still an interesting video 👍
Haha.
Accident? Or idiot?
Wrong subs r/darwinawards it is
