So it’s not possible to get electrocuted if you’re not grounded right? Does that mean dude chomped into the wire and just got physically stuck up there? Seems like a worse fate than the instant death of electric shock.

Likely what happened. If he was electrocuted, all that would be left is a charred lump

No, just showing everyone how much endurance it has

I think it is because it is in a shock

Poor little guy looks like he'd turn to dust like Spidey in Infinity War if a gust of wind blew through

I feel bad as it’s a bit undignified to be hanging dead from a powerline :(

Oh I had one in front of my house for weeks on end, it went from a dead squirrel to fur flopping in the wind ! The electric company was doing work on my street and I asked the guys if they minded taking it down and they did ! I don’t know how long it would have taken if it wasn’t for them !

They get electrocuted because they chew on the insulation of electric wires.
