That was my impression too, the video's just so blurry.

Btw, :laugh:

oh man, that noise is too funny. Maybe if he had somehow managed to be silent, I wouldn't laugh at him....

reminds me of that one other popular video of that one reporter who fell trying to mash grapes. The response back at the studio (rather, lack thereof) was hilarious.
:laugh: That one was hilarious (am I mean for finding it that funny?), especially the sound effects.

EDIT: Yeah

:thumbsup: nice video :p
From one of the video comments:

Sounds like my beagle after he got stung by a wasp.
HAHAHAHAHA

Obviously the AC hot is toutching the microphone's casing. Then all he has to do is touch a ground source to complete the circuit, in this case wet grapes.

Just because it's wet doesn't make it grounded...

LOLOL that was hilarious. I've been electrocuted sooo many times in my life, and i'm still alive. Maybe a little brain damaged, but still alive.

DHOOOOO!

The wet grape are suspended on a frame that is grounded somewhere.

Oh man, thanks for the grape stomp video. I had forgotten about that classic piece of humor. Makes me all nostalgic for my old favorite internet videos like SUpeR GREG... Numba JUAN!

This type of fault is not rare. Many times the ground systems of audio and other equipment are at different potentials, so by completing the circuit, a current flows. Sometimes through a human! Many foreign countries don't have the same grounding principles as the U.S., not that they're bad or flawed, but the danger comes in mixing equipment from different areas and not modifying them to meet local standards. I cannot say if this was the case here, but I have read documented cases of audio equipment in recording studios doing similar things. Such as a singer strumming his guitar and touching his lips to a microphone that is at a different potential. The metal strings are grounded through the guitar amp, and bam, a ground loop is established and zing, a shock!
