The Indestructibles
Electrocuted Skydiver
E5 Jul 24, 2011 30m
A skydiving adventure goes horribly wrong when Scott Lutzs main parachute separates and flies off during his sky dive. Even though he manages to open his rescue parachute, the directions of instructors cause him to crash into a high-voltage power line. Miraculously, Scott escapes with only minor injuries and makes a full recovery. This episode of The Indestructibles answers two key questions: What caused Scott to steer his parachute straight into a high-voltage power line, and how in the world did he survive a 12 thousand-volt shock? An electric safety expert and a behavioral psychologist perform spectacular experiments that get to the heart of this shocking mystery.
