Fail! near strangulation/electrocution by adventure runner

submitted by SFOGuy

1 decade 10 months ago

From Deadspin---
"This happened July 27, but we're just seeing it now because Bob's Blitz just saw it now. It's from a Tough Mudder event in Buffalo, N.Y., and this particular obstacle—the last before the finish line—is known as electroshock therapy because those are live wires hanging above all that mud and all those bales of hay. For the poor guy in the orange, getting zapped by a few volts wasn't the worst of it." (no one actually dies...though someone could have!)

Good grief. Talk about reckless; running through a network of shoulder-high live electric wires while immersed in mud.

Even though that was crazy......I can't upvote. It's neither strangulation nor electrocution.

Of course you were going to get an upvote from BobsBlitz

LOL; thanks both! Of course, as I noted in the title Deedub81, it's a NEAR strangulation/electrocution. And a pretty darn uncomfortable one at that!*promote

Having done a few tough mudders...all I can say, is they are lucky that didnt turn into a death.

People dont like to walk through that obstacle, had he been running much faster....pop....no more head.
