I guess human life in India is cheaper than the equipment to safely deal with electricity

I was in rural India for a friend's wedding. They set up a giant tent pavilion to use as a dining hall, with fans hanging from the top. This was a ways away from the main house, but there were some power lines nearby so they just got power straight from the grid.
Also, day of the wedding, there was a large sound system for the musicians and priest. All the components were plugged into a power strip, which was powered by a couple loose wires stuffed into an outlet

That is a lot of confidence in the insulating properties of those pliers he has there

And his sandals.

fun fact: there's 400 Volts between the terminals laterally. that's gonna be one hell of a cardiac arrest.

OK so yeah, that guy doing it if crazy. That has been covered. But that also looks to be at ground level where anyone can walk by and touch it?!?! That seems like a bad idea too

Where are the "if it works it's ain't stupid" redditors?

I've legit seen an electrician do similar in a 480V switchgear in the US... used to help with installs of industrial submetering equipment, but rather than waiting for a facility shutdown, we would often install our CTs on live equipment. IIRC he wasn't even wearing arc flash gear...

I mean at least It looks properly grounded.

tfw at the end he grabs the pliers with both hands 😬😬😬
What does it matter if he grabs a single pair of pliers with both hands? Why did he make that bend in the middle tho?
Cross your heart and hope to die.
The bend at the end, I suppose is to put the strip in tension and make it less likely it will slip
i imagine that puts the wire under tension for better contact at both ends. pretty smart actually.
