So we can presume there were enough amps and the guy died?

LOL. If you keep watching and pay close attention, his pants catch on fire!

GeneW:

Even in third world countries there are huge signs warning against the dangers of contacting the wire.

I think that's his hair that catches fire, it's kinda hard to tell with the quality.

But man, I love that sounds when he gets zapped. (Not to sound morbid or anything...

)

If you watch closely, he get's zapped twice, once when his hand makes contact and then again on the way down. Nothing morbid about enjoying the sound, we all love the sound bug zappers make when a huge bug flies into it.

I showed this to my wife. She shook her head and walked away as I watched it again. Then she wonders why I never share anything with her.

People don't always read signs, if they know how to read at all.

India is a land of many nations bound together in a union. If that kid came from an adjacent province it's possible that he was illiterate where this accident occurred.

Sometimes natural selection can work against the group - a person curious enough to touch a dangerous wire might be a good problem solver in another context. Someone who won't touch a wire might not be cautious but might be indifferent - they're just "here for the ride".

My wife's son-in-law and I were hooking up a new washer and dryer. The dryer didn't come with a cord so I sent him with a diagram of the plug outlet to Home Depot for a new cord. He came home with a new one that had been shrunk wrapped in a coil for packaging. Testing to see if he got the right one he plugged it in and KABOOM. The pigtails were also wrapped together. I said "Now you learned something about MR. Electricity." The breaker was ruined and back to Home Depot he went.

Looks like that might sting a little...
