It's a showbiz stunt why else would there be a crash mat there?

Yes...

As you know I have a great deal of respect for you and for that reason I'm going to keep this civil.

I totally disagree that he deserved to die.
Being soft in the head, mentally ill or high as a kite should not come with a death sentence.

If it turns out that he was a child molester or a rapist then I'll change my tune.

Have you seen the video where 3 guys move a tower and it hits some over head power lines? That even more disturbing! You can see them twitching and slowly catch fire.! When I say slowly catch fire I mean they start smoking first! I think that video is on live leak too!

Saw that one the other day really awful to watch.

One guy gets up and runs into the tower again. One is laid with his arm on fire and starts to wake up but can't move. Saw it a while ago and still gives me nightmares.

This is the video if anyone wants to view it, the overhead lines are carrying 10,000 volts.
Please be sure before you view as it is extremely graphic.

That's heavy. When I did the P.V. course we were shown "man on Indian train line" or similar?, at least that was quicker.

These videos are all very disturbing to watch.

IMHO they should stay up as reminder to all Trainees, Electrical Trainee and members of the public.

I'm sure we have all been to induction days to a new site where the loudest noise has been snoring.

Re the OP:
Maybe he/she was thinking it was possibly an un-bonded gas pipe?
