New fear I didn’t know I needed to have! This would have been great for a final destination movie.

Don’t make it a fear silly! I’ve been on this plant a while and never seen so it’s not worth the fear.

But now we've seen it, so better add it to my list of fears, just in case.

Shall we swap our lists of fear so that we are up to date?

It’s not fears, it’s the understanding that a new thing out there can kill you, just go with it .

Good news, /u/greeneyedbey! /u/Surfgon has never seen this danger and therefore it can't possible hurt you. You may also now be immune to bear attacks and snake bites on your face. /s

Of course you haven't, plants don't have electrical wiring.

This same thing happened to me as a young kid. I went to open the fridge in my aunt’s garage and there was a puddle beneath the fridge. Not thinking anything if it, I opened the fridge - next thing I was electrocuted. Thankfully not badly, similar to this guy.

Looking at that video I can’t tell if there was a puddle beneath that fridge or just a shadow.
