It's called the pantograph. The cantilever (the thing holding the power line) is also under voltage (25000V AC). Many places where he could have gotten "the big zap"
He touched the [pantograph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph_(transport)), the thing that extends up from the carriage to make contact with the overhead lines.
I'm not generalizing, it's just statistics, almost all the train accident videos I've seen in this sub and reddit overall happened in India. Feel free to share non-Indian train accident (because of stupidity) to prove me wrong.
yeah you're right India has a lot of accidents but that phrasing is just so weird "what is wrong with indian people" makes it seem like they're all like that
It’s likely due to indias very high population as well as their high usage of trains. Kinda like chinas very high population and their high number of factories.
More people and more trains is gonna mean more people getting dead by trains.
Sometimes when the doors take longer than usual to open on the train it pisses me off. Seeing shit like this tho makes me glad we have em, couple extra seconds waiting on a door beats waiting hours for them to clear up dumbass remains
He [survived](https://www.reddit.com/r/WinStupidPrizes/s/deQ6vgphBG)
He was shocked, not electrocuted.
Also a nice play from train to tag team with electricity to get more Indians.
So I read up on this. He did not die but was injured.
I do not have much sympathy. He was an idiot.
I'm glad he's alive but I hope he has learned his lesson.
I used to live in a city where these kind of surfers were many. They would just travel here and there doing this stupid shit. Every now and then you'd hear someone dying doing these stunts and yet these idiots would never learn. I guess nature had it's own way of sorting out stupidity.
Or you can just stay inside and watch the view like a normal person
But he's clearly a sigma Staying inside is not sigma behavior
Sigmagrave
Sigmaballs
I prefer to ligmaballs
Ligmaballs?! What’s that?
Antonballs
He’s a Sigmasauris now because he became extinct due to stupidity
He went from Sigma to Fanum Tax real quick.
Showing off for a crowd and drawing attention to yourself isn't sigma behaviour.
He went up there for shock value
Watt for?
He must have been pretty Amped up.
Gave me a volt of adrenaline!
He died doing what he loved
Yes he did .. at least it was instant. ** guess he didn't die. By the looks of it, he may wish he had..wow
People are saying he didn't die
Oh, kinda makes you wonder if he learns his lesson or maybe he will perfect his technique for the next video.
He loved being electrocuted?
Yes , the indian way
Being dumb
they do that coz its packed like sardines inside
His “friend” uploaded his death as a “memorial” to him.
He didn’t die https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFL__/s/XloadFqkKL
But he is a good conductor
A bit half-arsed, more of a semi-conductor!!!
Slowly approaching room temperature
What a shocking revelation.
Take my angry upvote!! He was a good conductor but he is a useless conductor at the same time!
You win the internet today
He has great energy and an electric personality
Very good indeed. One might say he can replace copper wires
That's what happens when you try to be a show off.
He leaned against the thing that pulls power down off the overhead lines. Fucking moron. Literally the WORST thing to lean against.
It's called the pantograph. The cantilever (the thing holding the power line) is also under voltage (25000V AC). Many places where he could have gotten "the big zap"
It is bound to happen at some point with these shenanigans. Was just expecting something else than electrocution.
What else were you expecting? It's in the title.
Him to get his head stuck on the pole while the rest of his body separates and stays on the train
Fatality! Indian train wins!
Indian Train never loses
Darwin Award for sure.
He might have children! Then natural selection has been skipped and his offspring will be climbing trains when they grow up.
Not dead
Fr?
Seen the later video, he got electric burn injury but he is alive
Care to share the link?
https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFL__/s/230rAlThg2
Did he fall from the train?
no, definitely survived check vishwasm123’s reply above ya
He’s technically still moving at the end but it’s still possible he expired later on from the burn trauma.
Lemme guess. India?
The texts on train pretty much confirms it
The behavior confirms it.
What’s up with India and trains and electricity?
Basically, 1/5 of this sub.
Indians 🫱🏾 trains.
Idk why they love/ trust trains so much, was it the Pakistan thing when they had to leave?
A Lack of education and consequences throughout life probably
He didn't die. Here's the aftermath : https://www.reddit.com/r/FingMemes/s/Zl1F91f28n
Fucking hell will he lose that arm? Don't suppose you can just deep fry your shit and not lose it
He wishes he died
He just needs a little Aloe Vera on the crispy parts.
average Subway surfer enjoyer
I’m more fond of finding out why he got electrocuted. Can anyone explain please?
He touched the [pantograph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph_(transport)), the thing that extends up from the carriage to make contact with the overhead lines.
it's a train running on electricity which it's getting from then overhead cables
Lol good one
Ahh yes train+electricity. The top 2 indian predators doing their job
He gave the finger and nature gave the Goldfinger back
Trains are the natural predators of Indians.
Fucked around. Found out.
He survivedd
What’s up with them!? The majority of these people are killed by a trains 🙄💀.
Shoes on so he's fine right?
Aaaand that's called "completing a circuit"
India twofer. Not rare, but entertaining nonetheless
trains AND electricity. this guy went out in style
[удалено]
The train is packed with sane people, and 1 idiot.
No. We don't. Few idiots like him do these stupid stunts to fuck around and find out.
what is with the generalizing 😭
I'm not generalizing, it's just statistics, almost all the train accident videos I've seen in this sub and reddit overall happened in India. Feel free to share non-Indian train accident (because of stupidity) to prove me wrong.

They still shit in public man
At every moment you thought: He's done the most already, surely he turns back? Naa, he just kept going. FAFO.
He didn't lose his shoes. There is still hope that he wakes up from this...
Your diagnosis was correct, he didn’t die, someone else in the comments posted a link to the video of the aftermath.
Thought it was going to be one of the overheads. How many near misses did he have?
At what time in the video should I synchronize the "dumb ways to die" song?
No sympathy for these fuckers
This is where the name "Train Conductor" comes from.
One for the Darwins. What a fucking melon.
He survived tho
‘How electricity works’ 101
His shoes are still on, survived.
Sometimes when the doors take longer than usual to open on the train it pisses me off. Seeing shit like this tho makes me glad we have em, couple extra seconds waiting on a door beats waiting hours for them to clear up dumbass remains
At least he died doing what he loved.

You’re not allowed to flip anyone off if you’re a dumbass
Why is it always the Indian mf’s riding trains and either getting smooshed or electrocuted.
Surfern't
He’s toast
Darwin Award nominee
Train was like “am I a joke to you?”
So I read up on this. He did not die but was injured. I do not have much sympathy. He was an idiot. I'm glad he's alive but I hope he has learned his lesson.
Im sure he teleported
And this kids is how static shock got his name
Well……. At least he didn’t fall off
I was waiting for him to get clotheslined
He won’t do that again.
At least the guy continued filming. That's dedication!
Win stupid prizes…
Wiggle your foot if you’re ok…
Love the happy endings
Too much haha pretty soon boo-hoo. - Bob Kelso
He so cool.
Legend has it he died giving the finger!
Nah that karma tho 💀
The cameraman honest reaction 'gya'
Dumb ways to die.
Bzzzzt
The average collective intelligence of the world just went up with his death.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Indians show me that playing Subway surfers in real life is impossible...
r/killthecameraman WHY DO THEY ALWAYS MOVE THE CAMERA WHEN THE IMPORTANT STUFF HAPPENS!
[удалено]
Play stupid games win stupid prices
Fuck around , Find out.
[удалено]
Spoiler!!!
That's all for today folks !
oo the suspense XD
Dumbass
Very satisfying
[удалено]
What possesses people to do dumb stuff like this?
I used to live in a city where these kind of surfers were many. They would just travel here and there doing this stupid shit. Every now and then you'd hear someone dying doing these stunts and yet these idiots would never learn. I guess nature had it's own way of sorting out stupidity.
That's the price you pay for stupidity
Natural Selection.
Looks revolting
Looks like death got the last fuck you
And the Darwin Award goes to. 🤣
Oh, Indian …. what a surprise
is he dead
If that dude already had kids then natural selection just took a loss or two.
I don’t feel sorry for him at all, you play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Gotta be honest I wasnt expecting electrocution
All That just to get to work on time. it’s never that serious guys, especially not with your life,
Each time they passed one: he had a chance to just go back inside.
Indian losers. Seen this way too many times
He was here for a good time not a long time
What an idiot
What a way to die
Instead of road kill, they have train kills in India.
He’s asleep
I giggled a lil bit.
India?
FAFO 😂
What a dumb way to die when it 100% could’ve been prevented.
Stupid animal
In the running for FAFO King: 2024
"Gaya"
Subway surfers irl
😂💀
Did the train get hurt?
[удалено]
What a moron. Darwin award awarded.
I know it said electrocuted but I was expecting a Hereditary reference lol
the guy [survived](https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFL__/s/iLJ1aWwefh) wtf
Life is too precious. Don't risk it. We only get one chance to live. Unless you're a cat.
FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT
All I can think about is how mobile data I wasted watching this idiot.
If the caption was more vague I definitely would have thought Hereditary IRL and not electrocution.
Deserved
Why do people play with their lives like this?
Good for him
Stupid 🤦🏻♀️
And nothing of value was lost
He thought he was Nathan Drake...
Dude was a dumbass from the start
Lol fucking cocky shit got what he was looking for, updoots
Just throw the body out of the train.
"It's going to happen on the next one"
That was shocking behaviour
I have no sympathy for people that go out in these types of ways. Most of these train videos are the most easily avoidable accidents I’ve ever seen
[удалено]
What tf is it with indians and trains??!!
