A few weeks back I had to take an electrical safety course out at work. You see, we have a lot of new people coming in, and they want to reiterate just how dangerous electricity can be not only at work, but in your own home too. There is enough flow of electricity in your home to do this kind of damage. In fact, for the last year or so I have wanted to remove the annoying outlet covers that Lisa had installed on EVERY outlet in the house. It is a bother when every time you go to use an outlet you have to practically sell your soul to the devil to open up one of those covers. But after both the class I took and watching this video, I think I will leave them on until our girls are able to comprehend the true danger of electricity.
Happy Wednesday, and be safe around electricity!

Where's this terrifying video? I don't see it. Am I supposed to click on something?
truly disgusting. truly.
umm.. the electricity going through those wires that power trains is significantly more potent than that which goes through your walls at home... That's still dangerous, but Mr. Darwin Awards encountered way more than good old 120 or 240!
I actually have two comments.
I agree that it's a sure thing India boy didn't survive that.
And second; where do these people with video cameras come from?
How on earth did anonymous camera person know that something like that was about to happen?
I wonder if there are people with cameras on every street in the world just in case someone does something stupid like this it will be recorded for posterity.
But maybe I'm just being paranoid here.
I think I will test it out; I'm going to go outside now and hold a lit match to a can of hairspray. If my tragic but stupid death somehow ends up on "You Tube", then I think we can say that my theory is valid.
I don't know what is wrong with me, but I watched the video twice. It completely shocked me! Whoa! That's serious!
I had to edit my last comment, I didn't know if Alexandra reads this or not.
HOLY CRAP!!
1. ummm... that's crazy
2. your mom is hilarious
3. i'm checking youtube now for her video
as Jim Rome might say:
THAT was HOORRRRRRIBLE!
Thanks for the reminder to never ever to attempt to grab onto a power line... ever! Try IKEA plugs... they are still annoying to pull out but come out a lot easier then others!
wow. that turkey is DONE.
