I would refer to them as TT "s or temporary Thai's

[Gary]

I often wonder how they live as long as they do.

[MarsGodOfWar]

Crazy Fucker's!

Got to be the most dangerous job in Thailand.

Don't confuse 240v AC lines with cable lines.

 

I^2R

 

The meaning of that equation is that decreasing energy lost in wiring by a factor of 4 is worth an increase in loss of life by a factor of 4 in Asia. (220V vs 110V)

That's the formula for Wattage, not current. The current is what kills you. V/R = I

 

Your premise is correct though, the higher the voltage the better your chance of dying.

 

You also lose resistance as you get sweaty and fatigued, so if you've worked 7 hours and you're on the last hour of the day, best to save the light work for then.

I see that a Thai painter got zapped in Jomtien. It didn't say if he survived or not.

[darkmancomes]

Its not the fall that kills its the sudden stop !!

Thanks for the Electircal Engineers for explaining that your more liklely to die from 10,000 volts than you are from sticking your tongue in a 9 volt battery

 

Are their any physctists on the board that can confirm if your more likely to die being hit by a feather or a mack truck

Depends if the feather is stuck to the front of the mack truck when it hits you.........................

You're welcome...

[bodfish]

hmm no protective shoes and how is the one guys hard hat going to protect him if he fell? lol or maybe he don't like bird shit?

On the 5th floor of the Nature View Hotel.

 

Im not that curious to get THAT close to them.

[davebowk]

I was surprised to see them wearing a harness.
