Found this video on Wired. Man in steel mesh suit and birdcage hat, next to Tesla coil, in front of audience, shows how not to get electrocuted. And much fun was had by all!
My only question is—when do we get to do that? I can just see it now… electrified poi spinners.

The more I watch this video the more I think I get the sense of humor the editor had. I can just here it, like the creation of a villain out of Marvel:
ReplyDelete"It was the seventies… I had seen, uh, uh—a tesla coil! Yes. And, I thought, well—I could get inside a cage. So I did. And, and… I realized I felt no pain. No pain at all. So, I decided—uh, to make a bodysuit. A bodysuit! And get inside, so that I could have the electricity… the sweet, sweet electricity, flowing outside of my skin. And to be close to the coil! Muahahaha!"
(Seriously though, I think this guy is pretty cool).
