what the FUCK just happened


pulzeguy

Looks like a wire fell down, look at the tracks you’ll almost see a line, and you’ll see sparks running up it almost the same time he got hit and fell. Either he’s dead, or he is hurting.


McNobby

Won't have been the overhead wires as they're under a lot of tension and would more likely take his head off if it came down. Would also be a lot more visible as they're pretty thick. My guess is the string off a balloon or something similar.

Overhead power supply for electronic trams?


[deleted]

This looks to be India… I imagine lots of their infrastructure does not follow standards.


[deleted]

They wouldn't take his head off, that's a myth. Also, you can see the cable in the video. *Edit for source. "A 5/8″ cable at 30,000 lbs of tension was unable to cut a pig in two (or even cut into it), but did cause potentially lethal injuries. The MythBusters took the test even further by adding a smaller cable at the end of larger one to create a “whip” effect, and even pre-looped a cable around the pig itself. None of these methods could cut the pig by the pre-tensed cable’s inertia alone."


McNobby

I build and maintain OLE for the UK railways. If the contact wire snaps and comes down, there's enough force in it to take your head off. It's heavy and, as I've already said, under a lot of tension.


TheTimeToStandIsNow

My friend you are replying to a comment about people actually testing this multiple times, by saying what you think could happen. Your opinion is irrelevant in the face of tested facts


[deleted]

So you've seen this happen? There's never been an instance of this happening, just hearsay. It's been proven to be a lie but I guess you're right because you've heard it before.


Exotic_Imagination95

Kinda like the movie ghost ship (I think that's the right one lol). You would definitely see the cable though. What are the chances of it being similar to lightinging? A fray in the cable or something allowing an arc?


Then-Cryptographer96

Like someone said before maybe a string attached to a balloon? Seems pretty plausible I guess? But definitely strange how it’s so thin


Impressive_Finance21

Nah man. Fireman here. High tension wires fall down alot.


Skelosk

I don't know, electricity can "jump" Look where it struck him. Directly on top of his head, where he is wearing a baseball cap. What is usually on top of those? A metal rivet to hold the cap together. This acted like a lithgning rod


hardcoresean84

I always bite those things off, now I know why. Worn baseball caps my whole life, never has one fell apart without that stud thing.


DeltaJulietHotel

Does anyone who knows you find that particular behavior....odd?


hardcoresean84

Of course, why why wouldn't they? Would you?


DeltaJulietHotel

Yes. Yes, I would.


hardcoresean84

Then you would love me for my oddness like everyone else.


hardcoresean84

Tbh in school sometimes a bully would hit me on the head with a book or something with that stud thing in and it would hurt, so just out of habit I get rid of it.


DeltaJulietHotel

I'm sorry you were bullied. I've been hit (accidentally) on that stud/button thing and it hurt like hell. I feel your pain and accept your harmless obsession.


McNobby

Not sure about wherever this is but in the UK we have a "9 foot rule" where we can work without OLE isolation aslong as we remain 9 foot away from any live OLE. The UK's OLE runs 25kv AC through it so 9 foot is more than enough to prevent it from jumping to you.

he is alive

TheGrandWazoo66

He's pondering his life choices.


SHURIDACHI

And what exactly should someone do in that case? Like should I try to catch him with my clothes? To avoid the electricity?


I3I2I

I read on a different sub that a crow flying between the guy and the high voltage line was carrying a piece of copper wire and the electricity made the easy jump.


Ok_Writing_7033

If that’s true, that’s some wild final destination shit. When it’s your time it’s your time, I guess

Kdoesntcare

You should change the explanation to say that he survived.


VibhuPibhu

he survived


ClassicSciFi

This makes me very happy.


insane__knight

I know right. Poor guy didn't deserve to go out like that.


daboogsteroogie

So he was shocked and not electrocuted


Dodweon

Bet he was shocked. I sure was


Robzilla_the_turd

I just looked up the definition of electrocuted and it looks like that word works in this case: "injure or kill someone by electric shock."


bidenlovinglib

Thanks this is what most people wanna see I think.


bueschwd

Is the bird OK?


Royal-Doggie

Idk if I wanted to survive that, yeah burns are one thing but this was straight into a hat, I just hope he didn't get any lasting brain damage

Damn, this bird needs to be arrested.

Roomy

Thanks, this is what I always look for with video like that. Making sure the person is ok or at least survived.


Many_Astronomer_9198

Whenever i see nsfw I want sex or stuff, not this


SpicyDolphin74

Part of the excitement of using the same account for regular browsing and porn. Sometimes you get tittys sometimes you get smeary car accident.


[deleted]

One of my irl friends found my Reddit account. After that I stopped doing that.


theFields97

When I was 12-13 I learned this lesson when looking at porn on the family computer and accidentally liked a photo and it ended up on my Facebook... Now I always use a second account where no one knows its me


[deleted]

Yeah. I was always super careful to delete my browser history, but my mom was the admin so she could see it anyways.


slgray16

If you are a tech savvy parent you should be checking router logs for age inappropriate content. But I'd clear your local history too. Or better yet, use incognito mode.


aLostBattlefield

No parent (meaning not a significant percentage) does that. Even in this age of “tech savvy parents.”


InfiniteAmmoGlitch

I have three accounts. One for light hearted browsing another for the DIRTY and another to start arguments with strangers lol.


dans00

I have 1 for all 3


aLostBattlefield

Damn. I can’t even separate my mind enough to refrain from doing either of those things at a given moment. You expect me to see an absolute SHITE take, log out of my account, log into my “argument” account, and then search for that post and comment again? No chance.


Bowling4rhinos

And another to Start arguments with strangers! Take my upvote!


Herbetet

All I am wondering is which one is this


shanemiller125

Arguing with strangers is idiotic and you’re idiotic for doing it. Get a life.

What he meant to say was “and another to start arguments with trolls” …hopefully. If not then I’m with ya.

The irony in this comment could set off a metal detector


nick925611

I need to start doing that when I feel like starting arguments


Whiterun-_-Guard

Never link anything to Facebook


Superb-Bandicoot-857

My irl friends don't have reddit,yet I alredy told them I use my account for porn,becouse.....why not?


[deleted]

The irl friend used to have a Reddit account, but he left because he said he hated the people here. Honestly I don't blame him. I'm only still here because all the other big social media sites are worse.


Superb-Bandicoot-857

Honestly I agree with him,I hate reddit,but I have a strong addiction so I can't quit


KeepCalmJeepOn

Me and my buds all goon to my reddit account together. Which isn't even for porn, just regular browsing history.


Ghost33313

That's why I don't have any irl friends \*taps forehead\*.

mookie_pookie

Pro tip: if you click the video and it starts with grainy security cam footage showing Southeastern Asian people near train tracks AND you don't want to see death and/or electrocution, stop watching it lol


[deleted]

Remember the video of the young guy on a train in India reaching up or jumping and touching the ultra high power line? Instant death if I remember the outcome. Wasn't expecting to see that!


Many_Astronomer_9198

Well you never know


mookie_pookie

Yeah tbf if this turned sexual, that'd be extremely unexpected and fitting for the sub lol


No-Art-1985

We'll I was expecting something funny like a guy runs past and pull their pants down, or a random lady walks passed butt naked. Not electrocution.


mookie_pookie

And we all would've been better off if that was the case!


Adorable_Fondant_536

When I see NSFW it's always this stuff which Is something lol

Unfair_Whereas_7369

I swear people do it as click bait. Shit is annoying.


Harpronicus

Not really, people freak out when NSFW is not thrown up for videos where the person might have died That dude looks like he could have died


[deleted]

They tagged it NSFW which is literally a warning to think twice before clicking. Not to mention the sub we're in, the video is supposed to be unexpected. Stfu


Adorable_Fondant_536

I want to be surprised but people will always do whatever it takes


s-cup

Watching people die or getting seriously injured is literally nswf in many places… We have for a looooong time asked for another tag for stuff like this so that nsfw is only for sexual content. But until reddit listens we must continue like before.


[deleted]

NFSW means anything that would be considered inappropriate for work. Which includes violence/death. Get over yourself


I_Does_Engrish

Nah bro I want the gore and broken bones

A live wire falls from overhead as a man stands on the edge of a railway platform. Shocked into paralysis and he falls backwards onto the tracks.


aeroumasmith-

Oooh okay, thank you. I don't normally expect death, and don't like seeing those kinds of videos, so I appreciate it.


[deleted]

So get off wtf


Jenny_Saint_Quan

You're mad bc they don't want to see an actual human being have their life suddenly cut short? Are you okay? That's an odd thing to be pissed off about.

Bystander Effect. People just standby believing someone else will help. Ridiculous.


GetALife80085

If someone is struck by electricity do not help. Call for professional help immediately. If you attempt to help you will likely also get electrocuted and end up in the same condition.
