Rubber, wood, or plastic don't conduct electricity. A thin rag isn't isolated.

He'd still be alive. And you are correct...electricity finds ground with the path of least resistance..and it arced to the railing. Electricity won't travel through wood.

Apparently that towel wrapped around his hand isn't rated for 13,000 volts, who knew

We had a game like that when I was a kid. Except a buzzer went off if you touched the wire.

Re: India: Man Dies From Electric Shock While Retrieving Set Of Keys
The stick looks light and cheap. I am sure it is not a metal stick. Either it is made from wood or from plastic. Him using a towel alludes to the fact that he thought about this. He probably felt safe with using a wooden stick. It is however interesting to see that touching a high voltage wire will conduct electricity no matter what. |
