That vid made the rounds a couple weeks ago. The consensus was that it was a video editing job. Nobody can be that stupid.
I would hope so but I don't anything there to convince me its real or fake.
People can be that stupid.
I never did anything like that, but I can think of an incedent once that clearly could have meant my end because of stupidity and lazyness.
I am an experienced electrician with lots of years doing work on 13,800 volt equipment. I bent a rule here and there one night in haste to get out of a shit job. Dam near burned myself up.
Why do things like this happen?
Simple reason people are all of us are stupid.
Sooner or later no matter what your IQ or how much experience you have sooner of later you will get lazy, get distracted, maybe have one too many beer, or just plane get out of your element and figuere you know what your doing when you don't.
THEN POW!
If your lucky you walk away and if your not your dead.
