I had no idea this was popular on TikTok but it is.
This is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, you can die.

I have nothing more to say

You can never be too careful, and they make sure to use all the proper safety equipment. "You can never idiot proof anything. As soon as you do, some one invents a better idiot." robo hippy

The interesting part is how many people think a dead man switch is going to save them from dying. I don't think enough people realize at that voltage less then a second is enough to take you out.

Figured that one mistaken action would take me out. Since I never make mistakes I should have been OK continuing the process....
