Man killed 'peeing on power line'

yes it can transmit electricity assuming there's no broken pee line. same with wasp spray ... it has to be formulated to prevent shocks if it gets to touch electric wires.
 
Only if you pee that strong, it will go thry to body and get shock... big time
 
Pee does conduct electricty!..if anyone is wondering.

About 2 years ago I was walking my dog Duma. He was on a lead.
He stopped at a lampost [as dogs do] and began to mark his territory.
No sooner had he started when he lept 3 feet into the air and looked quite distressed.
Looking up I saw the light was damaged and there were wires exposed.
The pole was live!
I called out the power company who quickly sorted it out.
Poor Duma...for the next 6 months he gave that lampost a wide berth!
He seems to have forgot about it now though!

They have done it. Like I said, need to push that pee hard, would get electric over body. If doing slow, the "line" is break up, no worry.

Cool......I haven't seen that one
 
Pee is made out of water so...yea it does conduct electricity if you are too close to the power line, it will go thru the pee to your body damaging you pretty bad depending on the amount of voltage there.
 
okwas this dude bare foot or something, mythbustes busted this one , so I know that thee was something other then his urine acting as a conductor like no shoes or maybe even the car but it can't have just been the urine , we are missing important facts

I agree with you kateweb! I saw the same show.
 
Candidate for a Darwin award? At least honorable mention?

here's a link that may be of interest to you. I want you to note the source of this link.

Apparently, he accidently peed on a downed line after wrecking into a pole. He must have stood very close to it though.
 
Nvm, the link is to the guy in the op's article... not two different guys. I assumed this was bout a guy in NZ.

That's not right and unfair since the guy did not even know the power line was down with exposed wires.

The true Darwin Award goes to this guy.

Firefighters found the body of a man lying several feet away from the transmitter. They say it looks as though he was electrocuted while trying to steal copper.

Deputy Chief David Soward said the thief received a jolt of 69,000 volts of electricity, which killed him instantly.
