What Happens When You Touch A High Voltage Electric Cable? This Man Tried It So You Don't Have To
A man demonstrates what happens when you grab onto a high-voltage wire in a bizarre experiment. The Internet thinks he is crazy to attempt it.
Humans are nothing without their curiosity. But sometimes, it is this very hunger to uncover the unknown that takes us down. Adding to the bizarre experiments on the internet, a video of a man grabbing onto a high-voltage wire is going viral.
Man Grabs High-Voltage Wire In Bizarre Video
The internet is filled to the brim with absolutely insane videos. From animals to humans, you can find anything under the sun and beyond online. However, this clip going viral on Twitter has people raising their eyebrows in bewilderment.
In the video, a man demonstrates what happens when a human comes into contact with high-voltage electricity. To show his viewers the repercussions of the contact, the man, who is likely atop a city pole, grabs onto a thick wire harbouring around 30,000 volts of electricity.
The man instructs his audience, ¡°30,000 volts of electricity, so just firmly grab it like I am,¡± before he puts his grip around the scary wire. He then narrates, ¡°I am gonna let go and then just open your hand up and pull in a couple inches away.¡±
The Man Is Completely Unharmed Even After Touching The Wire
Seconds later, the man opens his fist and pulls his hand cautiously away from the wire. As soon as he does so, the sound of electricity and static fills the air, and the clip captures clear visuals of sparks flying across his hand from the wire.
All this time, while demonstrating the bizarre contact, the man is not equipped with any precautionary apparatus. He only has a woollen glove between his hand and the high-voltage wire.
