content: Yes it did. This isnt the first electrocution Ive seen. The guy on the back was holding onto the rungs of that ladder thing and when it hit the power lines his muscles contracted and he was stuck there as he became the shortest link to ground. In situations like that the best thing someone can do to aid another is to knock the victim away with a pole or pending that a body check if it can be safely performed. Of course in this poor shoeless bastards case, the voltage was so high that he was dead in seconds.  Reminds me of another video of a guy in india atop an eletric train car, causing a delay with his angst or whatever. Dummy reached uo and grabbed the line and basically burst like a microwaved hotdog.
