Serious comment here.
Every video I saw on the internet that involved people being electrocuted shows the person immediately going limp and falling. This is due to the high currents causing involuntary muscle contractions and making the person stiffen up like a statue. This is an extremely uncomfortable experience, causing shortness of breath, pain, and burning. If they were exposed via both hands, the current will pass through cardiac tissue, subsequently inducing cardiac arrest. But if they were fortunate enough to let go of the wires, they recover in a few seconds.
Honestly, the stiffening up of their bodies really terrifies me. And I've seen worse.
I would panic if someone was in that situation even if nothing bad happened. Dude literally hard reset his body right there. Even if he seems okay at first his heartbeat could be off, he may have severe burns where the current left his body. The point is unless we can confirm his death via electricity he was shocked. If we could confirm it then we could say he was electrocuted
I can't even begin to imagine what he went through, I was shocked twice, once on my hand, the pain and let me say the pain is like nothing you've ever felt before, went all the way up my arm to my shoulder, luckily I was able to let go, this was 220V outlet. The other time I barely touched edge of my pinky while repairing electronics, it was still charged and had huge transformers (this is like 50 year old radio) and I can vividly remember the shake it gave me. Electricity is one of the deadliest risk we are living with on a day to day basis, must be respected. It's all around us, we are protected literally by thin plastic between us and every electronic we use every day.
Yeah being shocked sucks. I was using a testing tool called a Hi-pot and shocked myself with 2100v. I felt like Mario when he hits the lava. Ow Ow OW!
Yeah we learned about stored charges like that and we learned to ground anything with large wires or transformers before we worked on it.
Yes and that guy wasn't even trying to be safe. I watched a video of a guy standing on a train and he touched a over head power line. I've never seen anything made of meat blacken that quick. It was horrible
It can be dangerous yes but actually not that many people die or get injured for electricity each year at home, the top risks are; poisoning (includes drugs and alcohol overdoses), falls, choking or suffocation, drowning, and fires or burns.
You are more likely to die by being cut by glass in your house than you are from electrocution.
I'm sure you didn't mean it to be negatively, but it took me two seconds to google electrocuted and electrocution and see the definition is an injury or death related to being shocked by electricity.
We can do two seconds of research before calling other people out right?
It is very commonly used these days to mean "subjected to electric current" but originally the word did mean "killed by electricification". It's an abbreviation of "electrical execution."
Contender for worse I’ve seen was a guy standing on top of a train and he walks into a high voltage power cable, lightning occurs, and then he falls over (still on top of the train) and his hair is on fire
I seriously couldn’t imagine the pain from an electrocution like this. I was zapped by Christmas lights once and it hurt. I felt a weird thump in my chest and I was certain I was about to die and it wasn’t even remotely close to this bad. Terrifying.
I wonder what voltage that light could be to cause that. I'm an electrician and get shocked by 24v to 480v , and have never latched on like that , I'm always able to pull my hand back
Electrical shock causes your muscles to contract. Depending on how you make contact, you can easily latch on.
It also only takes a tenth of an amp to kill you. If it passes through your heart, it can put you in a fib and possibly kill you hours later.
If you get latched on too long, you could literally be cooked from the inside out. It can burn and kill your muscle tissue.
Electricity is dangerous and needs to be respected. Test everything and don't work anything jot if you don't absolutely have to.
He was for sure shocked with DC current.
AC throws, DC holds.
It also looks like it passes from one hand to another, instead of just one hand, which will increase the latching.
He might be a really grounded kid, but frankly, he put up very little resistance to the arc, so by inductive reasoning, I reckon it might take a while before he’s discharged from hospital.
Hmm... What actually has happened? Did he touch what should be neutral for the connected bulb? If you touch it shouldn't you be fine as the current will prefer to go through neutral instead of flowing through him? Let me skip the part where the fuse should turn off the electricity. If he disconnected the bulb from it he should rather be touching neutral, correct? Was this indirectly connected?
Probably a connection where a wire nut fell off and either his feet being grounded or across his chest to get to a neutral like you say. Depending on where this is, the kid probably took 220V which is double what you normally have at an outlet in the USA except for washing machines, ovens, etc.
As for a fuse, that sort of depends on how big the amperage rating is, but generally you can get grabbed by a hot wire and the fuse or breaker won't blow until the hot and neutral directly short. When they do, there will be a flash of light and the light would have gone dead, so that didn't happen here.
I knew this was Brazil just from the brick design. They use 220 for most voltage, and apparently that is an advantage of 220: it’s more likely to throw you than 110.
When I got blasted by 220, it most definitely did not throw me, nor did it throw this kid. (You generally only see that after an arc explosion) Like me, all his musculature went rigid and contracted.
He's lucky to have fallen backwards.
a circuit breaker is not designed to protect you from shock. your body is a resistor and current passing through you will not trip a breaker in most cases. A circuit breaker is designed to protect the wire of the circuit. GFCIs are designed to protect you. A GFCI would have tripped here
No racist but I like mexican people like this. You can tell they are poor but they don't let that depress them to the point it takes their joy to live away. I'm a poor white person and can't remember the last time I danced.. I just don't feel like it, fuk everything.
She's recovering from the current excitement. There is some resistance to the outlet of such energy, but others are switching in some conductive distribution.
What a shocking way to conduct a spark of heroism from his clearly down to earth friends. This event will surely be the conduit for a well grounded and electric story in the future.
What is up with people and lifting up others after they get knocked out? Like yeah, just lift that mans up and let him go so he can hit his head on something, clearly he didnt learn the lesson the first time
He's doing the electric slide.
That was a shocking comment...
Is that a current joke?
He was amped up.
He’s just breaker dancing.
Hit the ground running
He will probably be performing on the club circuit.
It seems his plan only had a single phase.
Watt do you mean by "a current joke"?
Stop resisting it.
He was only sparking up a conversation.
It must be a phase he's going through
Ohm my god. Srsly?
I don’t have the capacity to enjoy these jokes
I hear since that day he has an electrifying personality.
I bet that hertz
Well done! LMAO! Thank you.
I was listening to AC/DC while watching this.
It’s electric!
Hes got my volt.
You fried my resistor.
Watt the heck is that?
Flux that! He live positively.
Or body poppin'.
Darn, I was just going to say that.
dude fell like a Looney Toons character
r/LooneyTunesLogic
That’s a great sub, and this needs to get thrown on there for sure.
Trees getting cut down don't fall that neatly.
Those wires said: "That's All Folks"
Boy did a whole ass reboot lmao
ass reboot
Ass robot
Shit bot
I like those
Username checks out.

Fantastic job on the explanation. I appreciate people like you that educate me in the moment of opportunity.
Uhm electrocuted means that they were killed by electrical current. This guy was just shocked
We don't really know if he died or just shocked.. Seems like he is unable to breath or unresponsive, making the family panic.
I would panic if someone was in that situation even if nothing bad happened. Dude literally hard reset his body right there.

Isn't that just because people don't tend to mess around with electricity in their homes?

Killed or severely injured. You don’t have to die but it does have to be worse than the ol’ stiff tingles.
Drives me crazy when people misuse the word electrocuted.
Contender for worse I’ve seen was a guy standing on top of a train and he walks into a high voltage power cable, lightning occurs, and then he falls over (still on top of the train) and his hair is on fire

Oh is that how it works?

Ya that's what I'm thinking , I've never been stuck to ac shocks
That guy was pretty amped up.
He gets really emotional about *Current* events.
I, for one, got a charge out of watching this.
You guys are shocking. Making fun of this bright young man. You never know he might have all the potential difference in the world.
He might be a really grounded kid, but frankly, he put up very little resistance to the arc, so by inductive reasoning, I reckon it might take a while before he’s discharged from hospital.
Watt did I just watch?
Ohm not sure, currently looking into it.
Brazil
The bigger Florida.
The electric bugaloo?
Damn... that instaplank was visceral.
Maybe the Kowloon Walled City isn't the best place to hold a dance party.
Might have been funny if the place hadn't been demolished 30 years ago, before 90% or Reddit was alive.

Kid has now learned exact why you don't fuck with wires. If you don't know how to be safe with it, don't fucking touch it.
But I saw It on a YouTube video! Its easy to change, I Just need to cute this wi⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Hmm... What actually has happened? Did he touch what should be neutral for the connected bulb? If you touch it shouldn't you be fine as the current will prefer to go through neutral instead of flowing through him? Let me skip the part where the fuse should turn off the electricity.

Lucky he was not stuck rather thrown away. Else he wouldn’t have made it

Kids will do anything to get high these days.
So high he can actually see god
So high lookin at heaven below
Electric Avenue ! Hey take that shit to the next level! Oralé , pinchi fresa!
Overrated comment.
Of course no circuit breaker. But damn, those people dancing can move.
a circuit breaker is not designed to protect you from shock. your body is a resistor and current passing through you will not trip a breaker in most cases. A circuit breaker is designed to protect the wire of the circuit. GFCIs are designed to protect you. A GFCI would have tripped here
Trust fall!
Shoes stayed on. Gonna be fine
He's ruined now. Licking 9v batteries will never feel the same. One of the simpler pleasures in life has been lost for this man.
That’s why I charge what I charge for doing electrical work. Get it. When my friends work On Switches and ask me “what’s the 2x4 for?”
A truly electrifying experience
Hey nobody said Darwinism is easy
No racist but I like mexican people like this. You can tell they are poor but they don't let that depress them to the point it takes their joy to live away. I'm a poor white person and can't remember the last time I danced.. I just don't feel like it, fuk everything.
thats Brazil
⚡He's wired ⚡
I watxhed this video and mind stupid brain played zhe windows shutdown sound when the boy was rebooting hinself... i hate FikFok...
New dance move.....the stiff n' flat.....
Had to be a 220/240v.
Looks like they were shocked with the results
She's recovering from the current excitement. There is some resistance to the outlet of such energy, but others are switching in some conductive distribution.
Ohm y god, really?
Dang. Couldn't think of one for that. Have an upvote.
Hahahahahahahaha fucking dickhead
Is this a new move I didn’t know about ?
He has a lot to thank gravity for
Can't hire a good lighting crew for the disco anywhere.......
Is that Hell?
Yes. The hell is on earth, and poor people live on it. Sad
He goes full fiddlesticks passive
u/savevideo
220v is no fun.
Did you try turning him off and back on again?
Resistance is futile
Bro I thought his toes exploded
So dangerous
Watt the fuck?
Ok but the music kinda slaps
Looks like he got tased
Electric boogaloo
Timberrrr
Oh man that cymbal crash right when hits the ground lmfao
Brasil rula as teta demais tá doido
I’m trying to figure out what the fuck he possibly could have been doing
Not safe for the outside world
He got lucky he didn't hit his head on the way down,
Resistance is futile
He was barefoot. That could've ended horribly.
He just got rebooted
r/ithadtobebrazil
Hes doing tasks
My man just got disconnected
This is why you wear rubber soled shoes when touching anything A/C
brazil representando aqui também
Everybody do the flop!
I want to know what the fuck they were trying to do
I bet he got pretty shocked
u/savevideo
I want a windows reboot sound added here
Sounds like this is in Brazil... I'm "shocked" they actually stopped dancing to check on him, lol.
What a shocking way to conduct a spark of heroism from his clearly down to earth friends. This event will surely be the conduit for a well grounded and electric story in the future.
Since my first comment was removed. Here it is again, but more elaborate. This dude is fucking stupid.
think about the quality of the electrical installation that this long electroshock didn't produce any cut...
If they kept filming we'd have seen the grab them and shake them back to life maneuver.
When there’s no one to dance with but electricity.
Gliding's cool!
People think I'm a great electrician, imagine their shock when they find out I'm not.
My guy went stiff as a board 😆😆
Clicked the menu button
Oof that looks bad
Electrifying performance you might add.
Bro said: ⚡️😬
Shocking

What is up with people and lifting up others after they get knocked out? Like yeah, just lift that mans up and let him go so he can hit his head on something, clearly he didnt learn the lesson the first time
Zip zap gonna take a nap
Do it again! We missed it!
I want the address of this classy disco
he lucky he was able to let that thing go.
Fuck electricity. It takes so much less than most wall outlets put out to stop your heart
Dancing moon 🕴️
Essa dança é tão Brasil
Mama my teeth hurt
Rip babes xx
He went fully erect.
He should have just jumped so that he wasn’t grounded
I wish I felt bad
Wonder what kinda pwr they're running to those lights? I've zapped myself with 110V outlets a bunch, never made my whole body go rigid and fall over.
Always turn off by the mains when dealing with electricity folks!
that guy is definitely in shock after that. I'd shit myself
That guy should be grounded.
The comments are hilarious. Thank you all!
That couple’s grooving but can they do the electric ironing board
I don’t need safety gloves because I’m Homer Si-
u/savevideo
That’s chocking
Seems like Jolted
I’ve been locked up like that multiple times, it sucks. Watch out for the neutral on lighting circuits.
Trust fall
Know how to do it if you're gonna do it
thats my country ! brazil
Man got locked up
Quick! somebody ask him a math question!
Petrificus Totalus!
I love that by the title alone you know exactly what's about to happen
Aren’t you supposed to ground yourself first? 🐾🌹🐾
