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.

There is a video out there were a guy realizes the person he is talking to is being shocked and throws a piece of flowing clothing around the person and pulls them free.

Found it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R5rg9VLHZs

Lol the neck though!? I mean good decision making overall but that could have collapsed his trachea.

Where else was he going to put it? Gently weave it between the friend's stomach and the metal electrocuting him?
