I'm not sure I find it quite as funny as you do, but it is a very retarded thing to do.

If indeed he was trying to steal metal from an electricity substation then I find it as funny as the OP, proof of Darwinism if you like, even if he just broke in then it's par for the course.

Happens a lot. My friend used to work in Selly Oak hospital as a theatre porter. They once had a bloke in who'd tried to cut some copper wiring off a substation transformer using a kitchen knife. Looked like a human pretzel apparently.

He's an idiot sure but having seen a bird literally explode on the lower voltage overhead lines of rail line I reckon he's in a LOT of pain which I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I've seen a JCB cut through a mains cable for one half of Torquay.

The power of electricity is not something to be underestimated.

You see massive winders, huge motors, electric trains and it doesn't really hit home. The resulting explosion from the earthed cable was awesome.

Electricity is very very serious stuff smile

Man dies from electric shock.
It is very serious and sad yes, powerful stuff.
Mod edit - we really don't need that type of footage on PH.

As for the miscreant above, as someone said Darwin.

Yep, that's a Darwin close shave. Did he try to volt the fence......

A kid at my school went carp fishing one day, with a nice long carp pole, and he walked across the railway lines..... He didn't have eyebrows for about two years........
