The point is that with 25 kV AC, this idiot would probably have gotten shorted already. Due to the higher voltage, the arcing distance will be higher.

Nothing is wrong with the picture and it is not "doctored" either. The tracks on top cuts the tracks below at an angle and forms a parallelogram. The consequence of this is that some part of the bridge does not exist on either sides and this is what you see.

Karan, 25000AC is known as V(rms). The actual pull of that over one cycle is going to be 25000 * 2 * 1.414 = 70700V. AC has 60cycles a sec, so imagine how much higher the risk of AC is.

Thanks, Samar.

Simply brilliant capture.

It's a nice capture. I also like the contrast between the figures being in sharp focus and the soft outside background.

Very witty shot!

This is a nice and an atmospheric pic. Compression has worked out well.
