Re: Darwin Awards 2004 In my hometown there was a power sub station. Warning signs, klaxons, chainlink fence, razor wire.
Wouldn't you know, someone climbed in. He was climbing around on the busbar and got zapped. The emergency folks shut down the power and got him out and to the hospital.
He was home in an hour.
Damage. He got his testicles burned off. Acutally cauterized.
The chief of police was admonished for commenting to a reporter that if the city worked it right they could call it an amusement ride and get the rest of the family to test it out. |
