Normally I try to find the humor in any situation. But when it comes to electrical safety, I’m having a hard time.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been zapped so hard by a theater light (a can for you theater and film folks out there) that I flew roughly 15 feet across a room and woke up 15 minutes later. At least that’s what my friends saw. I don’t remember anything but a fuzzy feeling—then waking up with a bunch of people staring down at me like I was some sort of lab experiment.
These videos show just how scary electricity can be.
That’s no small zap – that’s a frickin’ explosion!
Electricity can also do its share to weed out stupid from the gene pool.
Okay. I lied about not being able to find humor in electrical safety. It’s impossible for me to say serious for too long. Take these guys, for example:
Yeah. I’m an asshole. I’m sooooooo guilty of doing that same bit…
I’m going to leave you with a video showing how electrical engineers cook hot dogs:
Pass the mustard and slaw. 1.5 Amps for 60 seconds apparently makes for one fine dog.
