No I haven't. But the ops title"suicide" and your comment tell me what I need to know. What if he was mentally ill? Does he deserve to die still?

You should watch it then before you make a comment, he was a total loonball doing what he did.

One thing is for sure he won't do it again crazy or not.

Re: Pylon suicide...

Just found a news report on it. Hopefully this sheds a bit more light on it.

Man high on drugs dies after attempting acrobatics on top of power electricity pylon | Mail Online

just read the story.
so he was high on drugs, it wasn't his first time, firefighters tried for half an hour to coax him down to no avail so they put airbags at the foot of the pylon incase he fell.
Instead he touches a live wire and electrocutes himself and as a result of that he is dead before he hits the deck.
In the process of doing all that he managed to set fire to two nearby houses and then leave more than 500 without power.

as I said previously, nobody deserves to die but he bloody well got everything he deserved.

Re: Pylon suicide...

He did not deserve it, he was mentally ill. It is just tragic but as it involves electricity, also interesting on here. Mods will remove it soon. I posted one of guy on roof on train who touched overhead powerline the other week, that got removed.

Before the shock, Im sure I saw him mouth to his mate on the bouncy castle below "This is 12 volt... right?"

Where does it say he was mentally ill exactly?

That is my diagnosis, I am a doctor you know

Harsh I know ...... but thats one gene out of circulation in the gene pool of life!

 

[GMES]

on a positive note though he did manage to land perfectly on the inflatable landing mat

 

[amckay]

I hope he didn't have offspring, or at least took part in their upbringing!

I feel for this guys family and friends and anyone else affected by his actions.

Hopefully this will serve as a reminder as to the dangers of HV.

As an aside anyone who cites what is printed in the mail online as fact needs to take themselves outside and give themselves a good talking to.
