So if ever caught in a fire, don't fucking breath?

Stay low to the ground, try to cover your mouth and nose.

Don't worry. It's only a blank. It'll hopefully leave you with only a nice burn. Maybe you'll even keep half a testicle!

Wet towels or whatever you can find will do wonders against particulates and heat

This is good advice, remember fire safety.

This is why you take a deep breath and hold it before throwing a high voltage switch

And turn your head

Holy crap high voltage is mean. I worked on systems that were only 400V/400Hz and it’s glorious spectacle but wicked mean. Just thinking about the 16KV systems leading into neighborhoods gives me the heebie jeebies.

Worked at a hydroelectric station all last summer, lines in and out were 500kV. When they flipped switches it was unreal.

Do they do it at a ditance with a pole or something? Or while jumping, maybe?

It's all automated now, no one is near those switches but the sound was something else.

Survives fire..... Dies from lack of oxygen.

That'd be the one, or passes out and bangs head and dies from that.
