You don't tug on Superman's cape; you don't spit into the wind; and you don't mess with the Third Rail.

"Model"? Model for what? Locomotive Facebangers Anonymous? The dobie looks like he could give stupidity lessons to an ugly-stick!
The Darwin Awards has no worries of a lack of candidates with this sod about.

If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident. Derek Zoolander:

Not a real intelligent thing to do.... When I was sixteen y.o. I was hunting pheasant after a snow storm and it came a point at the end of a field, I had to pzzzz real bad. Hit an electric fence under the snow and walked home on my knees. My buddies thought it was hilarious. My girlfriend didn’t. My wife twelve years later didn’t either.

I found his Facebook page. It appears he was doing something on a platform. A sign reads “Summer Stage”.

From Myth Busters...
Urinating on the electric third rail of a train track can cause electrocution.
busted
Although it is possible to electrocute yourself by urinating on a third rail, you would have to stand unrealistically close to the rail to do it. In most instances, a urine stream would break into droplets before making contact with the rail.
(This concept was tested with an electric fence in episode 14 and that version of the myth was confirmed. Distance is the key.)

You know whats scary? that guy actually looks like that.
He was in the original (1970s) The Hills Have Eyes. The only movie I have ever watched with my hands over my eyes. Scared the crap out of me.

A buddy of mine who was in the Corps tells me when he was stationed in South Korea, they used to pull a prank where they’d wire a large battery to the metal urinals. Not enough to seriously hurt anyone, but enough to make the next poor sucker using it to take notice.
Dunno if he was yanking my chain about that or not, but your post reminded me of it.

I watched the 4-min clip; hilarious. I remember one of our scoutmasters in the 50s, tell us not to pee on a electric fence, so I never did. Whizzing on a charged rail never even occurred to me. Heh.
