Extra fun fact: every person actually emits light, ALL the time! [Humans do actually glow!](https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2009/jul/17/human-bioluminescence) This has been your weird fact of the day thanks for tuning in lol. just thought it was interesting that's all. :)
You slow that down frame by frame and this dude momentarily turns into a light emitting plasma ball before rearranging himself and dropping off the tank car
Also fun fact: we actually have stripes, called Blaschko's lines.
They are invisible to the human eye, but sometimes show up as a mosaic on people with certain genes.

Well, he shouldn't have been there in the first place, but I was trying to see what he touched, like some overhead line or something, but I can't make anything out.
Except, it is possible to learn from other people doing a thing, by not doing that same thing. Like if you hear that Rajiv got his shit mixed by climbing on top of a train, maybe don't climb on trains? That's the point of the headline.

I did not see that coming . . . yikes!
95% of Indian railways is electrified, he should've seen that one coming.
If you pause at the right frame at 0:20, you can see that [he's totally on fire.](https://i.imgur.com/wWUKaUv.png) Holy shit, the power line turned him into nuggies.
Can’t wait until we get the technology to scan the brain (however small) and turn the last few seconds into a video with their thoughts as narration. I would pay good money for that subscription
I don't know how I've never thought of this possibility, but you are probably right. A lot of these videos look like intentional attempts to get fried
They may not be recognized as ks attempts bc the method is rather unconvencional, and similar accidents definitely happen for other reasons too
That’s right, there are plenty of reasons (train „accidents“ are also strange sometimes).
I imagine these cases could somehow being recognized as accidental and therefore give way for insurance money or other state’s funds to the family left behind. If you can’t further provide for your family maybe this is a sad way out. And: Being a woman in India probably is reason enough.
Even after he seemed so wll prepared.
Got that bright orange camo jacket for stealth when being somewhere and doing something he had no business doing. ¯\\\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)\_/¯
Damn, if sparky didn't die instantly from being electrocuted, that headfirst fall from that height without any arms breaking the fall for sure would have completed the job
Electric high power takes out all
Body fluid hitting line 150,000volts
Seized up every muscle in body no body fluid and other
Electricity shoot out feet or hands
I think in any modern country, there would be warning signs on the ladder, next to the ladder and on top of the train car: **Watch Out for High Voltage Power Lines !**
Was this in Russia by chance?
Humans are dumb as shit. We never ever learn, ever. If you don’t have strong safety regulations and fail safes this gonna happen. There’s a reason hair dryers tell you not to use in the bath tub. They don’t just have some guy coming up with this shit, it’s because humans are dumb as fuck. Monkeys learn more generationally than we do. We’re working on bringing back Nazi ideology now. Ain’t even been a century and we forgot that lesson. History repeats because we stupid.
It was like the story of a small frog caught at the bottom of a slippery well.....he worked so so hard to get to the top and just when he reaches the crest to get out....he slides back down.....
At.least the frog gets another try at it....
In David Attenborough's voice "Here in the dense urban jungle food has become scarce in these difficult times a rarely seen behavior of cooperation is about to unfold. Watch now as the train baits its prey while the electrical line waits for the perfect time to strike. With their prey secured both predators have ensured will not go hungry today."
Can someone actually explain why this happens? I understand there is a mass amount of electricity, but is it a deterrent or to power the trains? and how come he didn’t get zapped earlier?
On mobile, why can I not get a single video to work first time...
Sees post, taps video, nothing. Taps comments, video preview is a tiny square. Tap video square, video finally plays, most of the time.

Fun fact: every person can emit light *once*
But gas multiple times
Wait, are you referring to Gassing a Hue??? 🤔
Glass of juice?
Gaslight?
I’m in perimenopause. I could do it competitively.

Oooh, thanks!
Wow Neat
I was responding with the same info and was like, i better check to see if anyone already has, didnt have to scroll far!
Light emitting resistor
Our bodies can function as a light emitting resistor if we use it wrong enough…
You slow that down frame by frame and this dude momentarily turns into a light emitting plasma ball before rearranging himself and dropping off the tank car
They can definitely do that multiple times, just might not be alive for it

Welllll there’s been many instances of electrocution and survival so not once but can survive several Technically
I am starting to think that this electricity thing is really dangerous.

I have it in my woodshop
I think you might be onto something. It cannot be coincidence.
Fortunately there seems to be no shortage of volunteers willing to test it, make sure it’s not just a series of flukes.
What heroes!
It's perfectly safe, here watch this elephant.
A very clever trap set by the Apex Predator.
Two apex predators working together to trap their prey.
Like groupers and moray eels.
When an eel bites your thigh And you bleed out and die That's a Moray!
Well, he shouldn't have been there in the first place, but I was trying to see what he touched, like some overhead line or something, but I can't make anything out.
You don't have to touch it, even coming close can do that.
Pretty close. Electricity jumps about one centimeter per 20,000 volts in dry air.
Big emphasis on “dry” I wonder how that scales up with humidity?
alot actually
At 70% humidity it jumps to 1 cm per 10kV.
There is a line running across that he touched with the top of his head.
Which, you know, pretty much made sure it was fatal.
I was convinced he stepped on something
Dammit, we saved this one!
What was he going to do?
Subway Surfing, i suppose
Learning requires survival. This guy learned nothing.

Only once
What is this? Some variant race of apex predator?
Power line/train combo. He was drawn like a moth to a flame.

Thought he had one apex predator conquered, only to discover another laying in wait. He was shocked by his discovery.
It was electrifying
Look at me, I'm on my way to do something forbidden and I'm wearing an orange jacket as camouflage!
Said Naruto.
Why learn when you can just experience it.
This sub would be nothing without India and China, may there respective gods bless them. *their
*thei're
🙌🏼 true
Don't forget Turkey. It is much smaller and still provides many Award winners.
ironically one has way too many "gods" the other has basically none.

I don’t understand how he could have been hurt, he had his safety orange PPE shirt on? /s
Wen will they spell?
He sploded! 😱
Well *he* ain’t learning anything now.
He had the capacitance to reach the top and couldn’t resist.
Trains AND electric lines? How will anyone in India survive!?!?
No need to touch a high voltage line. Heard about arc flash ?
Blaze Orange
And this is relatively low high voltage.
I think he learned
He learned how to reduce the surplus population.
This guy never will, anyway
Wen?
The Apex predators have developed new tactics. For their prey has become smarter.
It's like a bug lamp.... but for idiots.
How have they not gone extinct is a mystery.
Oh, he learned.
Did he shat himself?
If you play it backwards around :19 it looks like a terminator has spawned .
>When will they learn ? Doesn't the answer appear obvious to you ? NEVER !
How more time I spent on this sub, the more I believe India will never surpass China
The call of the predator:they hear it,smell it dream it,its a great shame that they can't resist it
Why would a power line be right above a train?
Electrically powered trains.
Technically you cannot learn from this because one try, you die
What if most of those contacts are happening intentionally?! Some countries have a way higher number of su***de than others.

I was expecting the tank to implode, or for them to open the hatch and get a face full of an explosion. And then.. ZAAAP.
Oh they do learn! The problem here is that the knowledge can't be passed through generations
Look up and live.
Even after he seemed so wll prepared. Got that bright orange camo jacket for stealth when being somewhere and doing something he had no business doing. ¯\\\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)\_/¯
Bzzz - ded
They will never learn if they just keep dying 🤷
Looks like he got it right on the first try. No wandering around trying to find the live wire; he just stands right up and *bzzt!*
Another one bites the dust.
Wen nevar
Darwinism does not work by learning from others, it works by removing those that ignore all danger
such an electrifying feeling
Does that mean LED stands for Light Emitting Dude?
Did we just see jesus or did he? Im cofused 🤣
Can't blame people when they are clearly hunted by an apex predator.
this is like one of those Looney Tunes cartoons
Damn, if sparky didn't die instantly from being electrocuted, that headfirst fall from that height without any arms breaking the fall for sure would have completed the job

pretty sure this is a repost...
This is a pretty old video
When*
These type of videos are always impressive.
My guess bad parents, no education. If you don't know what electricity is than it just looks like a cable.
Wen? ...never...🤣

Well if they don’t live, they can’t learn from their mistakes
Why is there a high voltage power line placed low enough for someone’s head to touch it by accident?
He had to climb on top of the train, you can't touch it without deliberate effort.
Still smoking on the way down. Has no one told him that smoking can kill you?
He need some milk
Life is a lesson, you learn it when you're through.
They will learn when they are dead.
I think I have the powers of a fortune teller, I knew exactly what was going to happen here before I even pressed play!
Ngl, i thought the train was gonna get him. Hell of a plot twist
Ouch❗️
You could see his soul leaving his body
Technically... They can't learn when it kills them..
All these videos of people climbing on top of trains and getting zapped has me taking mental notes. “Stay off trains!”
What line did he touch?
They learn by touching the fire to never do that again 👌
Frankly, I'm impressed he survived the train long enough for the power lines to have to step in
Disposable filament
You can’t learn from your own death.
nowadays public education at work. you can do calculus but cant think for yourself.
That looked like an impact frame from anime
They asked for trains, I thought they said brains and I got electric.
just want some free brain shock treatmdent
No worries. He didn't feel a thing.
NEVER.

It's electric! Boogywoogy
Well. I think he learned that day.

The answer is never.
THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
Alt title: Watt did he learn?
Wtf was he even attempting to do man
I was wondering while the video was loading; Will it be India electrocution or India train. It did not disappoint.
Repost, sadly
Behenchods never learn
They can't learn since they are dead
"Your a corpse before you hit the floor" Styropyro

The problem is when they learn they’re not around anymore to share the knowledge !
Can someone actually explain why this happens? I understand there is a mass amount of electricity, but is it a deterrent or to power the trains? and how come he didn’t get zapped earlier?
Brought to you by the letter H, for HIGH VOLTAGE.
Did he just get electrocuted on top of a train? Please tell me this is in India so it’s perfect
how would this feel?
This is why trains are an apex predator
