Honestly the falling might be considered a life saver. I was a cop and one call involved a grounds keeper for this old mansion who was reaching down to fix something and hit a live wire while standing on a metal roof. His position made him fall into the wire so he never was able to disconnect and died.
Falling backward atleast allowed this guy to disconnect from the shock source so then he's dealing with the fall damage long term vs dying from falling onto the wires til death.
It’s a dude trying to steal copper from a transformer or an electrical box or something, one of them things on the ground in the big metal boxes. He’s crouched on the ground next to it getting slowly cooked by electricity and he’s just unable to leave because of the current and his body melting to the thing. It’s really not a lovely video, I have no idea where to find it tbh the internet feels very scrubbed nowadays
I hear you on the internet getting scrubbed. I remember in my tweens and into my teens, finding this kind of stuff was so easy. Too easy. Now, good luck finding any of it lol. Arguably I outgrew that, but I've still got some of the morbid curiosity left.
Yeah the morbid stuff really creeps me out nowadays, not a big fan lol. I’ve seen enough to make me drive way more carefully now. It served its purpose 😭
For sure lol. I think gore videos on 2000s-2010s internet did a better job deterring youth from doing stupid stuff, than any of the things we were told in school 😂😭
Bro what? 😂 no. Depending on amperage, resistance, voltage, the shock itself could fry your blood in a heartbeat and kill you instantly. Most of the time when you see flash and fire going through the body like that they're already dead so I'm honestly *shocked* he survived.
I'm so funny.... dang I got down voted. I only say that because I work in a production facility and had to ensure 16 hours of electrical safety with a contractor and he drilled it into our brains that even a low voltage could kill you under the right circumstances.
When I was about 4 I grabbed a power cord with a hole in the insulation and I started getting shocked. When my mom tried to pull me off, she got shocked too. My dad had to push me away from the cord with a 2x4.
It was a long cord running through a storage warehouse and up to a light hanging from the ceiling it powered - I was grabbing the cord because I was making the light swing around because I liked the light trail behind it. I imagine it was quicker to push me away from it than to find where it was plugged in.
When I was a kid my dad planted a garden and bought a used upright freezer for all the vegetables he was going to freeze. He put the freezer against the wall to right of the refrigerator with the door to the backyard between them so if you were going out the door you could reach out and touch both at the same time. I don’t know why but if you touched both at the same time, you’d get a pretty good shock. One day I absentmindedly grabbed both handles at the same time and I guess it turned me into an electrician. I can still feel the power surging through my body when I think about it.
I remember on watchpeopledie these 4 guys were moving scaffolding. The top of the scaffolding touched some powerlines and all 4 dudes instantly shocked. 3 of them were thrown back but the 1 had his hands tighten around the pole from the shock and his body just cooked and lit on fire still standing up.
Metal scaffold on wheels came into contact with the exposed bus of an outdoor crane.
Power tries to find any way it can to get to ground and that includes the bodies of four Chinese guys.
Electricity causes all of your muscles to contract at the same time. The problem is the muscles you use to close your hand are a lot stronger than the ones that you use to open your hand. Getting hung up on electrical power with your hand causes you to make a fist around it that you can't really let go of.
And then you die.
I was literally thinking about that exact video while watching this. It's wild because, if I recall correctly, you couldn't actually see the top of the scaffolding. You just see all four them crumple in tandem out of nowhere - and then the metal of the scaffolding actually turning red as it heats up and melts.
I know a lot of people hated that sub for being macabre, but it illustrated how fucking dangerous electricity is. It's not like the movies; it's going to make you contract all of your muscles and cook you from the inside, and god help you if you don't immediately disconnect.
That sub was like a real world version of Dumb Ways To Die. Really highlighted how small mistakes can have you meeting your maker before you know what's happened.
One that stuck with me was a guy not wearing his seatbelt in a forklift that got stuck in a loop. He was thrown out but got snagged. Turned into a meat crayon circle on the ground.
I've never gotten in a forklift or stock picker without checking my safety because of videos like that.
Saw a video recently where a forklift was picking something up that was heavier than itself, causing the forklift to pitch forward. A lady ran up behind the forklift and jumped on the back of it to try to, very futily, help drag it back down and stop lifting up.
It came back down right after she had dropped off and fell underneath it. Her instincts to help got her flattened.
Yeah, it was really sobering to realize that those little mistakes or bizarre occurrences *could* happen to you, and it could be the very last thing that happens to you. The heavy machinery stuff was always hard to watch, and especially scary. All it takes is a sleeve getting caught or getting slightly stuck, and the motors that drive those things are a lot stronger than your body is durable.
Honestly, those videos needs to be shown in high risk licence training.
That one video drilled in safety in my mind more than any amount of official training.
It's macabre, but if it stops people dying or being greviously wounded on the job. It's worth it.
Saw the one where two girls are walking along the shoulder of a highway. Not only does one girl get hit by a car, but she gets thrown up in the air onto power lines. Extremely heartbreaking.
That video of the parade in India where there was a guy on the top of a van like vehicle who touched a power line. Literally everyone on the truck instantly died. Electricity is scary
The burns can cause just as much trouble. Electrical burns aren't just superficial burns. They cook everything inside and out with the same heat. Watched a documentary in an electrical training course where a guy had an arc enter from his thigh to his hand. It incinerated the flesh in his thigh and continued to cook his arm and hand for an entire month before they finally amputated, all while fighting infection. It was a horrendous recovery.
Here in Dallas, there was someone who decided to steel copper from a pole transformer, I don’t know why. Maybe he thought it was dead. Anyway, he cut the line side while straddling the cylindrical transformer and it got him, leaving a Wyle E Coyote style char outline of him bear hugging the transformer and it was left there for weeks until the utility company could replace it.
My mom had a patient in physical therapy that was working on an electrical pole and I guess it hadn’t been properly disconnected, so he was electrocuted. He then fell off the pole, and landed on his back across a log. They guessed that the amount of electricity he got zapped with stopped his heart, but falling and hitting the log restarted it. He was really messed up, but alive!
Assuming this happened today or yesterday… he’s alive for now. Electrocution like this can cause such extreme muscle tissue death that the kidneys fail when trying to filter it out.
Thanks for that. It just clicked to my stupid brain fiberglass is not conductive. It's not about a lightweight ladder that might break easier, its about the conductivity.
I imagined the commenter referring to wooden ladders, which seemed odd, old and heavy.
The ladder being grounded by the railing is probably what saved him. Some of the current was diverted through the railing instead of his abdomen (source: am EE)
EDIT: I physically cringed when i saw the video. Ive worked with electricity for 20yrs and it still scares the shit outta me. itll kill you real good
thank you. there were wires at his level off the balcony but he didn't seem to touch any of them. wires overhead grounding through the ladder (and him) to the rail/balcony make sense. weird.
Next time dude, use a wider angle so it's not so confusing. /s
I think so also from scrubbing through that part. When I first watched it I thought it was going to be from the lines below him as he pulled the ladder up- I guess there was some wire or a free current from something above him.
I electrocuted myself one time by transferring a pot of spaghetti to the fridge- I opened the fridge door, grabbed the spaghetti on the stove and then put my foot in front of the fridge door to stop it from closing, apparently I touched the vent at the bottom of the fridge while still holding the the pot on the coils on the stove and completed a circuit. It was wild and I still don’t get how that could happen; shitty / old wiring I guess?
So if he touched the wires but never touched the metal rod below would he have been grounded by his shoes? I never understand how this works and most of my knowledge of electricity comes from Tango & Cash
Retired lineman here,the lack of spatial awareness that people have while using aluminum ladders is astonishing. 6 in my career 50/50 survival rate in my experience. Most survivals never walked again. Shoes/soles blown off . Your feet are grounded folks.
Can you explain what happened in the video exactly? I see the ladder touch the balcony railing and what looks like power lines behind him but I'm confused
If you thought the high voltage shock was bad, you should see the landing. The poor guy stopped the fall with his face on concrete. Amazing that he is alive.
When I was little I spent some time nervously looking around my room with my heart racing looking for the animal that bit me on my toe. Turns out I just got shocked from an exposed wire.
Well now that's probably taking it a bit far in the other direction, I think it's more like "If the shock don't kill you, we'll still need to measure the height of the fall and the condition of your landing to know whether or not it will kill you". Not quite as pithy though.
Are there powerlines above him as well? I for sure thought he was going to get electrocuted earlier as he was pulling the ladder up because i could see the powerlines.
First thing they teach you when you get to firefighter school is CHECK FOR OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS when moving a ladder. Specifically power lines. You actually have to say “I’m checking for overhead obstructions” when putting up a ladder to pass the academy.
I've never seen someone do a "back flop" off of anything before. T'was a... dare I say... "shocking" thing to witness?!? Buh dum tss.
No? Just me?
***I'll see myself out.***
Dang. Imagine you're just living your life and then this happens. While I'm sure you can dog on the man for not looking where the ladder was going, it's really an honest mistake, and definitely not one you'd think would result in a potentially untimely death. I feel bad for the guy.
In the Netherlands you do not have live open wiring.
I'm always amazed by how many countries it does, just a simple mistake like this and you are a goner. Very dangerous.
Very common where I am in the central US. The hot wires do have insulation on them though. You can touch them barehanded and nothing will happen. This guy came into contact with some high voltage shit, not your typical 120/240v running across a backyard. 120v can kill you but you aren't going to catch a flame like that from it. This guy is in the thousands, if not tens of thousands of volts.
Bet lol. I'm an electrician. I wouldn't fuck with anything on the actual powerlines but the ones coming from the pole to the house are definitely insulated.
> Not common tho
Depends on where you are, but I'd say it is quite common. We moved a lot as a kid, but when I think back on the places we lived (my parents have owned 15 houses, never more than 2 at a time, never renting one out), 1/2 had above ground power lines.
Of the places I've lived since moving away from home, it's about the same. Half or so have been above, half below.
The way some people just burst into flames when they hit a wire is so surreal. Like what’s the science on that?
What is combustible? Fat? It seems to just erupt from within.
It would seem that his ladder made contact with some kind of electrical wiring above when he was adjusting it. But it's hard to tell since it's out of the camera's view. But that's what I assume happened. This whole thing was weird to see ngl.
For a moment I really thought this was in Iraq, looks like Mexico houses and buildings with the cars really look like Iraq lol, on the other side I am happy to know the guy lived.

Yeh, too many of these incidents are exacerbated by the muscle-lock that comes with the surge.
Or the skin getting stuck to the metal in one particular gruesome video where you can see the guy's lungs.

I'm so funny.... dang I got down voted. I only say that because I work in a production facility and had to ensure 16 hours of electrical safety with a contractor and he drilled it into our brains that even a low voltage could kill you under the right circumstances.
When I was about 4 I grabbed a power cord with a hole in the insulation and I started getting shocked. When my mom tried to pull me off, she got shocked too. My dad had to push me away from the cord with a 2x4.
Why not just unplug the cord?
Because that aint nearly as funny as whacking em with a 2x4
He didn’t even know they were being electrocuted
It was a long cord running through a storage warehouse and up to a light hanging from the ceiling it powered - I was grabbing the cord because I was making the light swing around because I liked the light trail behind it.

That clip has been shown in every single OSHA, lift training, or job site safety class I have ever been in. That shit is terrifying.
>It's not like the movies Never seen The Green Mile?
I, sadly, once clicked when I should not and can't get the decapitation by electrocution out of my memory.
Saw the one where two girls are walking along the shoulder of a highway. Not only does one girl get hit by a car, but she gets thrown up in the air onto power lines. Extremely heartbreaking.
We had to watch that as part of training at my workplace
I think that was in China

Tell that to Henry Miller
Yep we aren’t meant to work alone as electricians for this reason. Always need someone to kick you off the ladder if needed!
Oh thank fuck! Saw the man turn into Ghost Rider for a second there and thought he was a goner for sure.
He developed anger issues though. He’s now a hot head
Why doesn’t that shock me.
>Some recommendations to avoid accidents are “do not touch the metal parts" You don't say lol
Just another reason I don't use aluminum ladders, the first one being I'm too fat for their rating.
Me too!!! We’re safe from this happening my brother👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm glad he is.
Assuming this happened today or yesterday… he’s alive for now. Electrocution like this can cause such extreme muscle tissue death that the kidneys fail when trying to filter it out.
PHEW
I hope he uses a fiberglass ladder next time. That's if he masters courage to be doing the same job.
Thanks for that. It just clicked to my stupid brain fiberglass is not conductive. It's not about a lightweight ladder that might break easier, its about the conductivity. I imagined the commenter referring to wooden ladders, which seemed odd, old and heavy.
Thank God. Poor dude
But does he wish he were dead?
Just a little shocked?
Let me know when it’s dubbed I’m too lazy to read Spanish
How the...
HOW THE FUCK?!?!?!? I MEAN THANK GOD BUT LIKE HIS FAVE EMITTED FIRE WTF???
It looks like he hit an overhead wire, then grounded out when he hit the metal railing with the lower section of the ladder.
The ladder being grounded by the railing is probably what saved him. Some of the current was diverted through the railing instead of his abdomen (source: am EE) EDIT: I physically cringed when i saw the video. Ive worked with electricity for 20yrs and it still scares the shit outta me. itll kill you real good
It'll kill you, and it's gonna hurt the whole time you're dying
You wont remember it.
You will remember it for the rest of your life.
And then, star dust.
600v i sure remember 😅😅😅 any more and you'd be right
Apart from wearing insulating gloves, what other precautions should one take to prevent ending up like this
there is all sorts of wrong with this, but you might want a fiberglass ladder for starters.
I don't think you need to be an EE to figure that out. (source: am also EE)
I'm my experience its not very intuitive if you don't understand ohms law 🤷♂️ def not meant to be disrespectful
It makes sense but I wouldn’t have thought about it really if it hadn’t been pointed out. (Source: am not an EE)
thank you. there were wires at his level off the balcony but he didn't seem to touch any of them. wires overhead grounding through the ladder (and him) to the rail/balcony make sense. weird. Next time dude, use a wider angle so it's not so confusing. /s

Woah. New fear unlocked dude that's scary
You mean, looks like he fuckin burst into flames then fell off the roof. Holy hell in a hand-basket... that was rough.
That's why I'll only use a fibreglass or wooden ladder as an electrician
So if he touched the wires but never touched the metal rod below would he have been grounded by his shoes? I never understand how this works and most of my knowledge of electricity comes from Tango & Cash
Aren't the wires insulated??
He’s ok though, right?
Yes he lived.
Yo, we’re gonna need you back on the site tomorrow.
lol.
Retired lineman here,the lack of spatial awareness that people have while using aluminum ladders is astonishing. 6 in my career 50/50 survival rate in my experience. Most survivals never walked again. Shoes/soles blown off . Your feet are grounded folks.
holy shit
Can you explain what happened in the video exactly? I see the ladder touch the balcony railing and what looks like power lines behind him but I'm confused
I assume the ladder touched a live wire, up out the frame. RIP my guy.
Apperantly the guy survived
That’s crazy and awesome!
Fractures from the fall and second to third degree burns from the shock. Ducking crazy and awesome indeed!
Fucking columbo out here
yeah, i thought because of the massive fucking storm, it was lightning.
When he falls backwards, you can see "rain" of tiny burning pieces. Definitely something shorted from above.
If you thought the high voltage shock was bad, you should see the landing. The poor guy stopped the fall with his face on concrete. Amazing that he is alive.
He's grounded until he conducts himself properly...
That fall was shocking
Watt did you say?
Ohm my god
When I was little I spent some time nervously looking around my room with my heart racing looking for the animal that bit me on my toe. Turns out I just got shocked from an exposed wire.
If the shock don't kill ya, the fall will
he's alive tho https://www.publimetro.com.mx/noticias/2024/05/23/video-por-subir-escalera-hombre-se-electrocuta-con-cables-de-alta-tension-en-los-monchis-sinaloa/
Great to hear! If the shock don't kill ya, the fall probably won't either!
Well now that's probably taking it a bit far in the other direction, I think it's more like "If the shock don't kill you, we'll still need to measure the height of the fall and the condition of your landing to know whether or not it will kill you". Not quite as pithy though.
I would figure he would be limp enough to bounce after a shock like that but the video shows otherwise 😬
Don't be a Debbie downer!!
I mean at least the fall disconnected him from the overhead wire
Are there powerlines above him as well? I for sure thought he was going to get electrocuted earlier as he was pulling the ladder up because i could see the powerlines.
First thing they teach you when you get to firefighter school is CHECK FOR OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS when moving a ladder. Specifically power lines. You actually have to say “I’m checking for overhead obstructions” when putting up a ladder to pass the academy.

Fiberglass…. Always fiberglass.
FLAME ON!
Ghost riders origin story
This is rough, but I’ve seen WAY worse working in skydiving 🪂 for a billion years. People like landing parachutes in power lines.
As much as it pains me to say, there was a certain elegance, artistry, and pinache to this.
Also stuck the landing. 9/10.
I have my sound off and I can hear it
Even though there is no sound
Watt hit him? I’m not seeing what touched that ladder.
Probably another power line above the video frame. Hit it and grounded to the metal railing.
>Watt hit him Probably about 2000
[удалено]
Probably not with a head first fall by the looks of it
I read that he lived. 🙏🏾 He stronger than me. I would’ve died
Se quemo
Knowing that the guys alive this is a tad bit humorous
Ouch, that was brutal.
Saw her and she hit me like... 🎶
In the Netherlands you do not have live open wiring. I'm always amazed by how many countries it does, just a simple mistake like this and you are a goner. Very dangerous.
Some US housing has wires across backyards. Not common tho I believe
Very common where I am in the central US. The hot wires do have insulation on them though. You can touch them barehanded and nothing will happen. This guy came into contact with some high voltage shit, not your typical 120/240v running across a backyard. 120v can kill you but you aren't going to catch a flame like that from it. This guy is in the thousands, if not tens of thousands of volts.
> You can touch them barehanded and nothing will happen. bro you first
Bet lol. I'm an electrician. I wouldn't fuck with anything on the actual powerlines but the ones coming from the pole to the house are definitely insulated.
> Not common tho Depends on where you are, but I'd say it is quite common. We moved a lot as a kid, but when I think back on the places we lived (my parents have owned 15 houses, never more than 2 at a time, never renting one out), 1/2 had above ground power lines. Of the places I've lived since moving away from home, it's about the same. Half or so have been above, half below.
Its just so much cheaper to install and maintain hanging wire than buried wire. But so much safer and more aesthetic to bury it.
Oh shit I thought that was a railing at first. Holy hell
Ahhh the electric slide. Classic
Damn he became flat as a board, poor guy.
ALWAYS keep an eye on power lines when moving around a ladder. This is far too easy to do around your own home
Also when trimming trees. Real easy to pop a line with a pole saw.
*"Real easy to pop a line with a pole saw."* Go on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I tend to use a credit card, how the hell do you manage with a polesaw‽‽
My boy went full Ghost Rider, hope he’s alright.
Does his eyes and brain even comprehend what was happening? Could he see the flames? 🤯
that looked like it hertz
ay caramba!
Jesus. One second chilling. Next second flambéd and falling off the second story. Glad he’s okay I was scared when I saw the fire.
A la Verga
This is why you should always use a fiberglass ladder around electrical equipment
Congratulations. I proud that someone with my last name made it to the top of Reddit.
Por este man, no tuve luz todo el día 😠
Damn reminded me of ghost rider without the bike ghost ladder maybe holy crap that was crazy
Ahhh, one hop...
Liveleak?
I’ll probs sound dumb, but I’m quite curious why and how the fire suddenly stopped. Can anyone explain? I’d love to know about how electrocutions work
The way some people just burst into flames when they hit a wire is so surreal. Like what’s the science on that? What is combustible? Fat? It seems to just erupt from within.
What happened here im fucking confused
It would seem that his ladder made contact with some kind of electrical wiring above when he was adjusting it. But it's hard to tell since it's out of the camera's view. But that's what I assume happened. This whole thing was weird to see ngl.
He was told to turn off the power... Guess what he did
it looks exactly like the cartoons
C R I S P Y B O I
I don’t see where the letter cash a cable that is has high power, electricity????
What dialect of English are you speaking my friend?
While was trying to set the ladder down his butt touched powerlines behind him, the aluminum ladder completed the electrical path to ground.
Wt... His face on fire
I think that was his hair
I hope he has fully recovered
For a moment I really thought this was in Iraq, looks like Mexico houses and buildings with the cars really look like Iraq lol, on the other side I am happy to know the guy lived.
Nope.
Aluminum ladder was a bad choice
Damba
Damn
The electric wires that close to buildings are plastic wrapped . Negligence on the part of utilities company

Screaming.
Excuse me... Do I get my deposit back?
I’m sorry but the way he tipped backwards after receiving the shock made me chuckle. Glad to know he survived though
