Yeah, looks like he falls off out of view, its basically just a video of some poor guy getting electrocuted and killed.
Glad theres no swearing in it though OP, gotta keep things family friendly
Lmao. Yep, we all just casually watch someone die and everything's all good.

I've noticed this generally lately - videos of people's deaths seem to be common now on forums, social media and even 'news' websites and nobody bats an eyelid. Basically it seems snuff movies have become mainstream.Yeah, looks like he falls off out of view, its basically just a video of some poor guy getting electrocuted and killed.

He doesn't disappear at all, you can clearly see his feet and part of his head on the zoomed in part
I guess general desensitisation to violence - I mean we expect to see, unfortunately, a lot of violence in the news and with social media etc.. we see it perhaps more than ever.
I guess there is a bit of US puritanical influence too - you could see violence on Facebook but there is content that shows so much as a nipple then they'll be quick to take it down. In US terrestrial TV too they're very sensitive towards swear words and a bit more sensitive towards nudity too - that sort of thing in regular dramas etc.. is more confined to cable TV like HBO etc.. and now the likes of prime, Netflix etc.. violence on the other hand, much less of an issue it seems.
well, human beings aren't made of metal or reducing agents and acid doesn't produce hydrogen when it reacts with air/water.
ahh, i wasn't paying attention and missed the electrocution thing - yeah its probably not acid at all and the electricity ignites whatever the liquid is.

One of the reasons I've not watched the video in OP. It is weird; societal norms have now become hyper-sensitive at one end, yet desensitised at the other.
I'm really out of sorts in a world of extremes.

If you watch the video closely you can make out that the electrical cable is behind his head when he stands up. It then looks like he passes straight through it when he falls back.

Marvel movies are family friendly, they're littered with death and destruction, one random dude getting done by Thanos in real life is nothing

I watched because from the description it sounded like it had to be fake. And it was. But it's a fake quite possibly based on a real death. Sadly, I think I've just watched someone die.

Same.
Humour is one way we deal with the grim reality of life. If you think this is bad, you should try lurking on ARRSE.

It looks like he passed out from the arc that jumped from the overhead line (fireball was the arc flash causing his clothes to burst in to flames), his body fell backward consistent with that of a faint and is now on top of the tanker (I'm guessing in a small recess on the top - remember you need to walk along something, they're not perfectly cylindrical).

Still think it's something along the lines of this:
nope, not possible.

Gallows humour to cope with something bad that confronts you in your own life is one thing. I don't think it covers seeking out people's deaths to have a laugh.
