That retard did that on purpose. He wasn't working on anything.
Also, he was pretty gay. That was not that bad of a hit, and he was rolling around like he got hit by a car.

still trying to figure out what the tool was. I believe this was a made up vid. There are some sites out there that pay for vids and this was on one of them.

I think it is bs

Not saying he didn;t trip the breaker. i just don't think he got shocked.

Shoot! I get zapped by 120V on a regular basis, what's the big deal as long as it doesn't take the circular route through your heart?

Ignition systems worry me more. 50-120KV can really wake you up!

Ya, I know that it's the amps that kill, long time Tesla follower, even built a few small coils in my front yard. A million volts in your front yard can make you a legend on Halloween.

That happened to me before, pretty f-ing scary. I was putting temporary lights in and this apprentice threw the breaker. Iwas like 25 ft up in a lift and couldn't pull my hands apart. I was able to scream luckily and someone finally heard me and climbed up the lift, saved my life. I was stuck for like a minute.

How could he have been hurt? The knife took the current, he just scared himself and acted (not very well) hurt.

He deserved it! And he must be a real pussy, rolling around on the floor like a pansy. I feel sorry for his parents....

If that guy's not gay, he missed his chance. What a batch of retards.

Fake and totally sissified. GET UP DOUCHEBAG! The knife did all of the hard work!

I bet his heart was beating a little faster... How could he have been hurt? Well that big arc right in front of his eyes could have done some damage.

Stupidity isn't limited to "homeowners"

1. Complaint: fluorescent fixture malfunctioning.

2. Apprentice replaced ballast, problem not fixed, asked the journeyman to do the repair.

3. That journeyman poked around the light with the ballast powered, electrocuted on secondary side of ballast.

4. Ballast was replaced unnecessarily. Later found the cause of malfunction was failed lamps.

What they did wrong:

Change ballast -> turn on power -> make suicidal moves -> check lamps.

Should have been
Replace lamps -> if not corrected-> TURN OFF POWER -> replace ballast -> reenergize and test.

Didn't they tell you not to service electrical apparatus while energized?

If you have a meter why the hell would you stick a Leatherman in a box? If anyone knows this guy tell him to take a dinner fork and bend the middle prongs down and stick the two outside prongs in his dryer hook up, someone call me first because I wnat to watch!

dlcj

totally fake and probably gay too. They accedently trough sparks the first time and said hey lets get the camera out do it again and roll around on the floor like a little girl. If he was really hurt the camera man would have droped the camera, wouldnt you? Ive been hit by 110 and by a many of spark plugs. i say the spark plug felt worse! But i also knew a guy that was killed by 110.
