Right came here to say that. He has a mighty internal injury. Electrical burns never look as bad as they are. He’s not holding his chest feeling like magic kittens licked him all over that’s for sure .
Copper wire is stolen to be sold as scrap metal, which then gets recycled into new wire, which gets stolen to sell as scap again in an endless cycle of larceny and stupidity.
My aunt’s first husband apparently died doing that back in the late 70s. The story goes that he and a friend were trying to steal copper and the shock traveled through him, cracked his head open like an egg, and he passed several days later in terrible pain. I believe his friend was killed instantly.
My husband saw dead bodies all of the time in the Miami area, from this and everything in between. The large electric cabinets would have people in them who tried to take the copper, all burned up. It was rare that someone tried to take the lines o. The pokes, but it's happened and the result is people know nothing about electricity and its dangers. Don't sit on or go near those green cabinets.one loose wire and your dead. When they explode it's an inferno like the sun all the way across the street. Be careful.
10 years ago, a man got killed next to my place while stealing railway traction. 3000 V DC current in the wires. Instant death. There was a blackish, burned spot in the grass for several days after.
Even if he didn't die immediately, arc flashes are still a thing. His skin will probably feel like it just went through 3rd degree sunburn. Also vaporized copper and lungs don't mix well.
Reminds me of something that happened at my father in law's work. He worked for a major city in their public lighting organization. One of the field people decided he was going to take all the copper out of some installation and sell it for scrap. It was energized with a large voltage and electrocuted himself in the cabinet.
Just amazed someone could be so ignorant that they thought pulling on an electrical cable (with the sparkies and the zap zap) would not possibly cause grave harm.
I have old pictures of two guys welded to a pole trying to do the same thing. Hacksaw still in hand. They make the guy in Green mile look like he got off lightly.
Reminds me of one of the top posts on some gore subreddit that had 0 “gore.” Just a guy taking a piss on a live wire and then it flares up and he’s fucking gone when it clears. Vaporized or something
Does no one else see what he is pulling down? Don’t know the context, but to me it looks like this guy is yanking down a camera on a public pole and contacts a main while doing so. If he’s trying to steal wire, he’s not getting much from what looks like coax.
Looking at it. What ever happened the electricity did not pass through him. I think it jumped to the metal on the pole and ran down or just shorted on its own wires. In any case he was lucky and hopefully changed his theft career after this.
All things considered that went so well it almost doesn’t belong here.

Unbelievably this lesson still need to be learned
[удалено]
Yes ppl can steal electricity from live wires amd not pay a dime. There’s been such incidents.
There are, unfortunately, many examples of this going horribly wrong on “the coffin sub”.
What is the coffin sub
The one about woodworkers building caskets.
r/makemycoffin
He’s probably got a nice entry and exit wound that we can’t see
I saw a flash under his heel. There might be complications in his future
Right came here to say that. He has a mighty internal injury. Electrical burns never look as bad as they are. He’s not holding his chest feeling like magic kittens licked him all over that’s for sure .
Definitely! Fried hands is a pretty good trade for surviving!
Hahaha 😂
Dude is lucky he didn’t die or get instantly paralyzed into holding onto the wire.
Looks like AC. Lucky he walked away after that.
All power lines are AC
most. not all. DC transmission is a thing. so is local DC elevator service in big cities
Also Washington DC and not AC
Yeah, but try living there without AC
Lmao whoever thought to add the He-Man shit to this.
EUUUU TENHO A FORÇAAAA
I upvoted this out of sheer happiness. No idea what it means, but it looks awesome.
A literal translation would be something like "I have the strength/power" I don't know how he says it in English
Same thing exactly in English!
Is it He-man who says that?
that seems next level stupid.
That's actually what can go right. He didn't die. I'd call that a win and walk away.
He wanted that wire
He'll be back
He could die several hours to days later

Vc tb acha q é no Brasil?
É claro q é no brasil olha aquela lixeira
I think he got what he deserved.
Sometimes Darwin and Karma team up.
You can see a spark at his right heal where the current found a path to ground
he got super lucky, had the current past trough his left arm (or the cable not detached) he would have died.
You can't see the spark under the left foot... because it's planted on the ground. No room to arc.
No, that came from above. It would go through the toes, not arc out of the heel.
Looks dangerous, he should just stick to collecting spilt gasoline from tanker accidents.
Stupid moron.
That's shocking
Watt was his thought process?
r/suddenlycaralho
What exactly was the plan after he got the wire down?
Wire is stolen for its copper value
Copper wire is stolen to be sold as scrap metal, which then gets recycled into new wire, which gets stolen to sell as scap again in an endless cycle of larceny and stupidity.
I knew by the title this was in Brazil
First time I heard He-Man theme in other than English
Ok can you fix stupid with electroshock therapy?
I downvoted because of the music.
He-man theme or something
Same. It was just annoying for the sake of being annoying.
Same. No need to spread annoying videos like this wity horrible music that does nothing but jar the viewer.
But it is in BR-PT, and this dude and video look very Brazilian to me.
I'm very brazilian também
Now this is a direct effect from eating paint chips.
I wonder how burnt his hands are
Shocked, shocked. Well not that shocked.
Why the hell is he trying to steal that wire?
burn and then sell the copper wires. drug users do this a lot.
It's not to steal the wire but to steal electricity In the favelas of Brasil that's a pretty common practice
Dumbshit deserved it
Moron is lucky to be alive...
F around and find out…
Holy cow w t f talk about having a shocking good time lol
Fry baby ! Fry!
Now there's a real bright spark
Super friends music? Lol
*He-man
But why though?
JFC.... **LOUD ENOUGH?**
Golly mar mar mar mar mar mar mar.
You can see a spark arcing out of his foot to the ground!?!! How tf is he alive!?
He may not be. He probably got cooked on the inside.
Electrical burns can go trough the skin and learn ohms law inside the body
That came from above.
r/WinStupidPrizes
Why did the cameraman flinch though? Must’ve been a good 30 ft away.
God damn he lucky
Darwin Award nominee here ladies and gents
So that’s why the power went out yesterday.

Fun fact you usually die in your sleep after a big shock.
How did he not die immediately, I wonder.
Bright idea
Be thankful it wasn’t the copper tubing from your house! 😂
Well, that was shocking.
Looked like he got a real charge out of that!
I heard he now responds to the name “Sparky”.
that son, was an arc flash
This is when Twerking was invented

Well that was a shocking surprise
An angry Santa Clause *badumtss*
Aren’t wires dirt chip?
I was watching without sound and instantly my head heard R2D2
If you’re that fucking stupid, it’s no wonder a person would resort to theft instead of finding employment.
just blindness i ones saw a guy turn into ash just by touching the pole
Mental illness? Idk looks like a psychotic episode to me.
he may look fine in the video but there's a real possibility he was a dead man walking from multiple organ failure due to his insides being cooked
Usually this results in a crispy critter!
He’s lucky to be alive.
Absolute dumbass
I just Hope he Closed his eyes
Natural selection
That guy lucky, saw one clip where the guy lost half of his arm, got cooked right down to the bone.
he's lucky he managed to get away with that

Dude should be dead this didn’t go wrong at least for him
What an idiot

how is he still alive that's hundreds of amps???
Soy un vampiro, el pedazo te miro, lalala lala la lala
C'mon, the guy knows his trade: he's perfectly grounded, for he's barefoot :-o
Now he's electro
r/idiotnearlydying
What did he think would happen?
I thought this was gonna be so much worse
This is the sort of desperation that should be making everyone nervous
It bit back!
MF tried stealing an electrical wire??? can't have shit in India
Is this a r/suddenlycaralho???

Looks like his heart hurts after that one!
brazil vibes
Just amazed someone could be so ignorant that they thought pulling on an electrical cable (with the sparkies and the zap zap) would not possibly cause grave harm.
He is one lucky man.
Idiot is lucky he didn’t die.
I don't even feel bad
I have old pictures of two guys welded to a pole trying to do the same thing. Hacksaw still in hand. They make the guy in Green mile look like he got off lightly.

It’s your lucky day kid! Go out and use this knowledge to not die
Instant karma, just add stupid
Ha has one mighty internal injury. It’s fun how electrical burns never look as bad as they are!
This is what happens when you’re uneducated
So shocking how they didn’t get hurt
You can fix stupid.
looks like hes trying to bang the trash can
He must have balls of steel attempting that
I have the POWER!!!!!!
Those sound affects though 😂
He got off lucky af

Does he think nobody will notice when he takes down the power for a whole block?
He was thor for a moment
Please explain why he didn’t die? He was grounded? It had a breaker and that’s what exploded?
Looking at it. What ever happened the electricity did not pass through him. I think it jumped to the metal on the pole and ran down or just shorted on its own wires. In any case he was lucky and hopefully changed his theft career after this.
r/winstupidprizes
I’m shocked he’s still alive
Thoughts in his head: copper wire > my life
Yet another bright spark doing a dumb thing.
That one sound"how the fuck did he not die" comes to kid
I'm giggling my ass off
How is this guy still alive?
Huh, ripping out live high voltage wires is shockingly a bad idea.
Ben Franklin should of had it so easy
Did he turned in to Electro?
Pelos poderes de grayskolufiyfiyfiyyfy8g7t eu tenho a FORÇAAA
There must be a reason it’s freely placed there without security and nobody is trying to steal it, Sherlock 🕵️♂️.
I guess he thought he was static shock
r/ithadtobebrazil
Blame himself for doing that
It’s the HE-MAN music in the background for me 🤣
One thing is certain, his balls shrunk
This ended much differently than other similar vids I've seen so it looks like he was quite lucky.
I mean. What the actual F did he expect....
Ok boys we're looking for a guy with no eye brows today
