Hope the kid is okay.

Depends on what lucky tattoos he has.

Usually they go for the ones that stop bullets and knife wounds, they hardly ever get the ones that protect from electricity.

Electricity, nobody really understands it,........ and they understand it even less in Thailand.

220V is used everywhere on sites in Thailand.This should be transformed down to 110V - much less chance of death by electrocution. Also lack of earthing is a major problem in Thailand.

Tasteless and juvenile.

I find no humour in the pain and suffering of others.

Really ?

Did you know it is the current that kills and not the voltage?

at my condo we have a seating area, by the pool, the water overflows into this area which has floodlighting (probably mains power) they have put red tape around the area, has been like this for months, (yeah that will fix it) i only learnt of this by asking my agent, probably going to wait until some poor sod gets electrocuted first.
