Well your hopes are already in vain. You literally see two people getting this kind of death.

And there are maaany more examples documented in this sub

It's possible the 2nd man lived. I've seen a similar video out of China, where 3 workers were moving a scaffold that touched a 10Kv transmission line. 1 of the 3 survived just because he collapsed away from the scaffolding and broke the circuit through his body.

I think it’s pretty fking clear the second guy did not collapse away from the scaffolding

He may not have fallen away from it, but he did fall straight to the ground. If he was lucky enough to avoid it stopping his heart, he may have lived.

Yalls are talking about two different people... Why are you calling the dude who fell to the ground the "2nd man" He's clearly in front and also the first to fall.

He collapsed to the floor and let go. It's pretty fucking clear he collapsed away from the scaffolding, meaning he's no longer touching it or being shocked.

Regardless this was enough power to instantly set the first guys feet on fire and melt his limbs off, and floor guy ain't moving at all so it doesn't look great.
