It could hurt. It may even kill you.

It's the amps that kill ya though. Still that was... something.

I'd have to say it was a shocking experience...

The amperage on that must have been amazing. He's barefoot on a huge metal object, I wonder if there was backfeed from the electric floor rail.

That was nuts, wtf was he doing up there (clearly they were trying to get him down, was he saying "i'm going to touch the wire and kill myself" or was he just being a dick on top of a train?)

Wow. If you see this thread take a look at that video before it is pulled. Amazing stuff.

I found an article on it

One man in India Blames everyone standing on the roof of an express train, he demands something and blames them he will hold the High Voltage Electric Wire Running over the Train if his demand will not be accepted. Actually he was travelling in the Mahananda Express, en route from Delhi to Alipurduar. He had embarked upon the train from Aligarh.In his Procrastination he holds the wire and within fraction of second the High voltage passes his body and he dies with a huge sparks and fire. It is a worrying thing that people started using these kind of dangerous thing as a suicide medium. :(

I wasn't sure if he was going to do suicide, and then he did.
