India, Sept. 2016. Three persons of a family, including a minor, were electrocuted after a live high-power electricity cable fell on their motorcycle, police said.

Vivek (29) was riding on his motorcycle along with his 4-year-old son when the electricity cable fell on it killing them on the spot.

On seeing the incident, Vivek's father, (61), tried to rescue them but he too got electrocuted, police said.

Alleging that the control room of the power department in the area did not respond to their repeated calls to switch off electricity flow in the line, the locals staged a protest by blocking the National Highway number 75 and closing down shops.

The bodies have been sent for post mortem and on the complaint of the victims' family a case for negligence in duty has been registered against the staff of the local control room of the power department, police said.

The father was desperate to get them off but they were already gone. No need to get electrocuted yourself. Do you know if he survived?

A WET broom handle will conduct just fine. There is an evident and large puddle.

This is a fantastic example of what people do when they have absolutely no idea of what the fuck to do in an emergency.
