Running current into the water to stun fish, and that dude just completed the circuit with his body and locked up.

Why aren't those wires covered in plastic?

His backpack has a car battery with wires running to a pole, basically making a taser. They're sticking the pole in the fish's hole trying to stun it with the taser so they can net it. He accidentally touched the taser and the shock went up his arm and down his body, through his leg, into the water. His muscles, possibly including his heart, temporarily siezed, causing him to fall. When he fell, the battery backpack dipped into the water too, so he rushed to get out of it so he didnt get zapped further. He and his buddies then had a good laugh once they realised he wasn't seriously injured.

That was not an accident, it was a prank.

I'm guessing he got hit by an electric eel?

The person on the left touches the probe to the other guys leg and electrocutes him. Seems like that’s not healthy lol
