Electricity likes the path of least resistance to ground. If you are only touching with one hand, most likely the current well run down that side of your body to ground more or less. If both hands are touching it makes it more likely for the current to cross your heart which greatly increases the risk of death
It obviously isn’t. You can see it sparking in the video as it energized the wire. If it was to ground those minor sparks would have been massive arcing and that wire would melt.
You’re not wrong lmfao. But it’s exactly like “I don’t need a helmet, I simply won’t get hit”.
Im not convinced with this much juice it would have made a difference, and if you’re committed to doing it this way you ARE probably better off doing whatever helps you avoid the worst, not mitigating it, BUT there are a LOT of stories of people who have been saved by best practices.
Every line of Osha (or whatever it is in your country) is written in blood.

Maybe the other end of the wire is grounded? Then the least resistance path is the wire

But if it didn’t shock him while he was using one hand it’s not gonna shock him when he switched to using both hands either.
Until he makes a mistake and get shocked.

It’ll still choose your bloodstream. One handed or not.
