Man must never have gotten the fork in the outlet talk, because he calmly places his gloved hand on the power cable like it's nothing. Fortunately, he is wearing a high-voltage electrical suit and has a good understanding of physics.
"He wouldn't be electrocuted even with two hands," one Twitter user explains. "Electric shock requires a closed circuit. The basket in which he stands is isolated from the ground and at the same potential." With the basket suspended in the air, there is no way for the electrical circuit to close on him. As for the shocks, another user explains. "He's slowly leaking charge to the air, so when he lets go for a minute, his voltage has dropped some, causing the cable to arc over."
Regardless he should have NEVER done it !
