That Guy With The Face
A documentary that shows how Alex Honnold prepared for his free solo of El Capitan...
This is pretty crazy. Theast jump is insane how he reuses his parachute for the third time.
Powerlines have so much electricity flowing through them that even getting close to them could send an arc out. Also, touching a power line without being grounded can still seriously harm or kill someone. I'm not entirely sure how she survived. Probably because she wasn't grounded. It's confusing, I get that.Regarding the girl hanging off the power line, that was fully insane, but I have a Q- she said her arm was torn mostly off but she didn't bleed out from it because the wound was cauterized "when (she) was electrocuted" by the power line.
Why would she get electrocuted when hanging from the line when she wasn't grounded? And if she was being 'electrocuted' thus cauterizing the arm wound, why wouldn't she continue to be electrocuted and die as a result?
Regarding the girl hanging off the power line..
There are only two wires on the pole. The top wire is hot while the lower wire, where she was hanging, is neutral. I suspect she hit both wires while flying through the air. Her arm hit the upper hot wire and her leg caught the neutral. Luckily. if you can call it that, it was a momentary contact; enough to burn the arm but not long enough to kill her. Purely speculation on my part.Anyone?
friggin' terrible.Anyone?
