Four Painters Cooked By High Voltage

So you mean that in the video of this thread was edited and was cut off ALL the sequence of the guy trying to get up, right?

Yes, 7 minutes are missing. Video on this thread - 3 minutes long. Original video - 10 minutes long.

Ok and who is the other guy who survived?

Are there any online source link to read something about that story?

Also why in the longest video I've posted, there is not included the part when the guy was able to get up and walk? That's an incredible sequence and sound strange that it was removed from the video.

that's because the point of the video is to show
a bunch of dead dumbasses.

Yeah but one of them survived. Despite getting a double dose of electricity.

o.k. then go off and make a "miracle thread" then.

Anyone knows how much amps the cable was carring?

From the video it say 10,000 Volt, but you know, Amps are the real issue in that case.

one 10,000 volt power line services entire neighborhoods.
and you figure 30 amps per houshold, 100 amps per business,
thousands of amps to factory... then a 10,000 volt power line
must have thousands of amps available in it.

Right, almost thousands of amps.

So any clues how the guy was able to stand up?

electricity still interacts strangely with the human
body in ways that still are not understood.

(a bolt of lightning is 10 million volts and 1000 amps,
and people get up and walk away after being struck)

all i know for certain is that it only takes 5 milli-amps
passing through your heart to stop it from beating. (so,
the circuit has to be something like: from one hand to the other hand) (but, then again, the human body's electrical
resistance to such events can vary from 100 ohms to 500,000 ohms.

Why?

well, this is the limit of what i have been able to
learn in my studies of electricity. perhaps someone can
pick it up from here?

good article are the mechanism for electric shock

[link to www.medwelljournals.com]

I read an article on the Web years ago, that outlined how a 9-volt battery could kill a person.

The translated Chinese article POSTED IN THIS THREAD BY ME is difficult to understand but from what I can gather only one of the four survived - the smallest guy who hung on roasting the longest and got shocked multiple times. The "superman".

Ok but who's the other guy who was picked up still alive in place?

...Sure hope you WANT to paint the building cause the painters can't make it.

...go ahead and pick up where they left off. Could you even climb that scaffolding ? (bamboo looks like)

as to why the shock was not super lethal :

as the metal body hit the upper lines it formed an electrical circuit to the ground with the main electron flow area occuring in the pipes directly to the ground.

any human touching that metal shit from now forms a parallel circuit to the main circuit which is pumping thousands of amps to the ground.

the resistance of the human outer layer is pretty high and the resistance of the metal body is very low - so in accordance to the laws of parralel circuits the amp drops exponentially to every ohm more applied in the human body.

the workers mabye got 10kV 500mA or even less. but it seems to be enough. and man are they dumb, you gotta be super dumb to walk around power lines with such a thing. REALLY dumb - like you spent your entire youth never in any school....

btw video removed :( gnah
