Yeah, I'd say he's a Darwin Award candidate, but his death isn't nearly as spectacular as past winners.

HANOI (Reuters) - A Vietnamese man who once appeared on national television to demonstrate his ability to resist electric shocks has been electrocuted while repairing a generator, an official said Tuesday.

Nguyen Van Hung, aged in his early 40s, was killed in Tay Ninh province near the Cambodian border while repairing the generator without first cutting the power supply, a local official said.

"When alive, he used to demonstrate at our office how he would insert two fingers into the electrical plughole without problems," the official said.

Hung, nicknamed "Hung Electric," had appeared on television's "Strange Stories of Vietnam."

ouch...

Nah, just looks like he got unlucky. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe he did use proper technique and safety proceedure.

Normally I would agree, but come on man.... he didn't cut the power, it is 100% his own fault.

Current trends make this a common outlet.

I get amped up just thinking about it...

There's a lot of potential here for hurt emotions.
But some people seem to get a charge out of making fun of death.

Well, as long as that impulse doesn't hurt anyone, more power to them!

Inductive reasoning shows a lack of resistance--people aren't adequately insulated to it.
