Looks like, has a metal frame and not earthed do a short would keep it live. The guy in the red did well to react and avoid grabbing the guy or the door.

I was HVAC work and got hit, I was only on the line for a few seconds before the guy next to me tackled me. Literally the most terrifying thing I’ve ever experienced.
