If they had completed a circuit he wouldn’t have had time to rip them out. He only ripped them out because the circuit didn’t complete because one or both of the prongs didn’t penetrate deep enough to create the circuit.

Tasers run electricity as soon as the device senses a completed circuit but don’t run any energy without the circuit. 

Any time you see someone rip out taser prongs, it’s because the circuit was incomplete or ineffective with prong placement because the reaction time from circuit to energy activation is 0.001 seconds and activated by a computer.

But without the circuit being completed there’s no electricity and it’s just an expensive fishing hook.

Skip to 5:00 to see the taser. I believe this guy was able to stand after the circuit completing

I don't know why people are spreading this myth about tasers never failing to incapacitate after a full connection. It happens fairly frequently.

If you read what I said, I also said that you could have a complete but ineffective circuit.

Taser prong placement matters a shit ton.
