Man survives crash; dies urinating on downed power line

Authorities believe a man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash. Grays Harbor County sheriff s Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday that 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch. However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived. Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didnt see the live wire.

The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body. Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated how the electricity traveled through Messengers body.

I thought that was debunked on Myth Busters :eek1:

what a burning sensation that must have been. I think I'll go with Chlamydia any day over this hot rod experience.

If he would've somehow survived the electrocution, I'm positive that an anvil would've fallen on his head.

I like electricity and I like my penis but I hope and pray the two shall never meet.

I'm amazed I've never heard of somebody dying from pissing on the third rail of a metro rail system. It seems like such an easy thing to dare a stupid person to do for $20.

I have actually pissed on an electric fence once. it make my lower regions a bit of a tingle, it wasn't fun, but it didn't knock me on my ass or anything.

 

[tullamore]

Reminds me of the time I was drunk and my friends paid me $20 to put the dog collar on and run through the electric fence.

I am trying to decide if this smiley is appropriate for stories of you guys monkeying around with electricity.



Not sure.

There was a story here last year of the man whose own big toe blinded him in one eye.
His big toe having flown up after being cut off by his strimmer.

I would guess he has had better days.

I was just about to say this. I thought they said it was TECHNICALLY possible but nearly impossible. Like 1 in a million...I dunno.
