@BowsacNoodle @kf01 @givenup you got it backwards. DC pushes you back and hurts like a bitch in higher quantities. AC locks you up. I've heard a swift smack with a 2x4 works well to disengage your buddy from the wires, but I've never tested it.

@thatguyoverthere @BowsacNoodle @givenup that's exactly the thing, you're supposed to resist all temptation to yank them away and get the nearest non metal item and wack the victim away from the live power or the live power away from the victim, then distance away and CPR immediately

@thatguyoverthere @kf01 @givenup I think I saw a video of a guy doing a running bullrush tackle to someone stuck in an electrical death grip on a transformer. Not something I have saved or handy ofc.

@BowsacNoodle @kf01 @givenup Yeah as long as you have enough speed and can knock them off without getting stuck that'd work out too. I generally avoid working on live wires if it can be avoided (it almost always can be avoided).
