Maybe OSH does have a role to play

[slofox]

...'specially when you see this kind of thing. Or maybe life is just cheaper in some places...

Not a pleasant look really - you have been warned.

OSH seem to turn up after the event and then prosecute the owner of the (usually) business for "failing to take all possible steps to prevent... (a fuckwit for hurting/killing/whatever)"

Sides, that looked like India or somewhere like that. It's not like they're short of people over there

The Hindu form of rapture perhaps. Fuckwits are everywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCuMXsfWZ2s :facepalm:

[Gremlin]

No, that's just commonsense.

Thanks Darwin :niceone:

That's a revolting comment.

Oh come on, lets amp it up a bit! This thread will only last Faraday or two before it's PD'd.

[onearmedbandit]

Ha that was brilliant! Love video cameras.

[rustic101]

He was certainly walking a short circuit up there.:confused: He seemed quite phased by it really.

[Latte]

Why on earth would he do that, obviously doesn't understand ground rules.

If you arc me I think it'll probably be gone in a flash.

Best video I've seen all day.

You're only saying that coz he was white, for half a second anyway.

[slofox]

Well...what can I say...Not the reaction I expected.

I was quite serious in my comments about OSH here. (For once). And I was pretty appalled at the content of the vid.

Oh well, back to current events I guess...:devil2:

[scumdog]

Hmm from my experience the 'sizzlee' seemed to be suffering some form of mental problem - or was until he forgot where he was and reached up to steady himself...

[Kickaha]

- or was until he forgot where he was and reached up to steady himself...

Just think of it as electroshock therapy

[nosebleed]

Ha that was brilliant! Love video cameras.

And camera operators that follow through.

[slofox]

And camera operators that follow through.

Unbelievable...

[onearmedbandit]

And camera operators that follow through.

True. Hate it when just as the action happens the camera jerks away.

[nosebleed]

Unbelievable...

Which part exactly?
Maybe follow-through was the wrong expression, try "commit"
By no means do I get off on viewing smoking corpses lying on top of railway carriages, but it was refreshing to actually view the moment of flashover.
Normally the camera operator would freak out at the flame moment and all we'd get is shakey images of everything but the event, negating the actual reason for posting the video for a worldwide audience in the first place.

Maybe this will serve to reinforce the message of danger to all the smacktards that insist on riding on the roofs of railway carriages. Obviously the signs/ warnings/ and official reprimands don't work.
in addition, if there are no such warnings in place it may serve as a reminder to those countries that such a laissez faire approach doesn't cut it.

For those who don't live in a "life has no value" environment it also serves as a very graphic (pun intended) reminder that electricity has been dubbed the "silent killer" for a very good reason.

[slofox]

Which part exactly?



Just the fact that the photographer could do it. I'd have dropped the camera.

[avgas]

I his defense did you see a sign that said "Dangerous - High Voltage - Do not touch"
While he was a complete fool, turns out we don't breed em too smart here either

That was a suicide. We use that video at KiwiRail for training purposes.

The person with the camera was quite calm and purposeful. It made me wonder if he heard that something was going to happen. After all, the people on the platform were possibly telling the guy on the train roof about the danger of electrocution and he could have been saying he was going to kill himself that way.

[rustic101]

I see he was very Connected with the Indian Rail System:pinch:

[240]

Watt a way to go.He sure smoked the audience,a great performance he was on fire!

KiwiRail Train their staff in suicide? Well I suppose its cheaper than redunancy.

I think you're right on the button...
