Ages ago I remember seeing footage of a 2-stroke concrete cutter with an abrasive wheel on it someone had fucked with to cut metal girders with. Course being retards they took the guard off presumably to fit the wrong sized wheel under it, there's this skinny cunt with his safety squints on, ramming the motherfucker into a beam like it owes him money.

>literally takes a 1/3rd of his head clean off
>bystanders supervising this fuckery- metal and disk splinters all through them

It was literally like a grenade going off, just these 3 dudes standing around and the operator, bam, all fall down. Most of them not moving very much and one of them who's never moving again.

Course to really fuck shit up, scaffolding is a sure way to get some working at heights hilarity happening because for the most part, its just unqualified dumb cunts throwing it together with spanners that really stop giving a shit after the 5th bolt gets tightened up and the rest... well its just inevitability really.

Lightning strikes are some of the more 'spectacular' effects of volts + humans and other random shit that gets lit up. The actual results can be quite varied though due to various reasons where you get people with a hole drilled through them from head to soles, cooking as it goes. Other people just get clipped and lose a lot of hair, minor burns and otherwise fairly disturbed by the whole process.

Running around the kV parts of power stations has led to more than a few misadventures as well with crispy critters mostly only being able to be ID by dental records, a smouldering baseball cap and can of spraypaint. Its pretty much like a lightning strike but you get the added advantage of a sure thing.
