Electrocuted, scary

Watched the video? Spot the flies too! I am currently finding the person that got electrocuted, inhumane I know, but all for science. However, if you're lucky, you won't be able to watch it. :/ So after watching this video, I've got 1 question to ask. Why did the squirrel got electrocuted when the men didn't? The position of the squirrel and the guy is almost the same, so why the different outcome?



Another one! Look at the "explosion"! It is soooo bright. Thankfully, the guy didn't stand too close to it.



Haha, you are not in luck today, I found the video! You don't need to watch if you don't want. Oh, and the man is a drug addict.

Anyway, the answer is already stated in class. Whether it is human or not, it is not touching the ground or anything connecting it to the ground and thus, the circuit is broken. If we were to touch the pole or the ground, we act like a wire, allowing electricity to flow through us.
