You could pee on a power line and electrocute yourself:
Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.
Grays Harbor County sheriff’s Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.
However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.
Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn’t see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger’s body.
Roast wienie! Think of all the ways you could die. An axle breaks and a bus careens into the sidewalk. A 14 year old mishandles a pistol. A congenital aneurysm bursts. A rotten tree limb falls on your head. It’s quite amazing you’re still alive and walking around today, is it not? So what are you waiting for? Express your joy that you’ve escaped death for one more day by chasing skirt!
Approximately 2.5 people die in the US every year.
Approximately 120,000 deaths per year are accidental.
The casket, the crematory or the mausoleum.
Either way- gotta go talk to that hottie.
Always try to get myself to do it- easier said than done.
Still, death is the greatest motivator.

I thought they showed on Mythbusters that this wasn’t possible. After a couple feet, your urine stream becomes a whole bunch of drops, rather than a stream. It’s a fluid dynamics and water tension thing.
Not that I’ll be pissing on any power lines to confirm it . . .

Second the Mythbusters.
I bet the guy just stepped on the line and the power blew his cock out of his metal zipper. happened to me all the time when i used to bang this crazy Jewish strippper chick.
Still, I DO sense a forthcoming LoveSystems email FLOOD promising how this will “improve your game!!!”

I’m kind of skeptical of this. Biological fluids don’t conduct electricity as well as you’d think, they have a pretty high resistivities. Also, the conducting path of a small diameter stream of electrolyte fluid, 1 meter upward, followed by a another meter downward through his legs, followed by another jump across his skin AND the soles of his shoes (both high impedence barriers), just seems to have too high of an impedence to draw enough current to cook someone, even with a super massive voltage driving it. Couple that with the facts that a downed wire would most likely have a much lower impedence path to ground and that all the muscles in his legs would would have immediately contracted and diverting the stream before he got cooked (energy/heat generated = volts*amps*time), and this one starts to smell kind of fishy. Fyi, it takes A LOT of DC current to kill sombody. Most fatal shocks are from AC current sending someone into ventricular fibrilation. When someone does get cooked it’s usually because the current is above the ‘let go’ threshold and they can’t get away from it.
Personally I’d rather go out in a blaze of glory, detonating a nuke while getting head in a bathtub full of money, taking out scores of my enemies with me.

I remember this from Tommy Boy, but that guy didn’t die. I guess if he was close enough/standing on it and had to take an intensive piss, it could happen.
Surviving and accident, then dying because of something somewhat unrelated is the worst part. It would be like making it out of a burning airplane and then getting run over by an ambulance.

I used to pee in a tight stream, but as I got older, it got more splatery. I think if you have the proper fluid dynamics going on in your ureatha, you pee in a stream.

I actually saw a show where the tested if pissing on a train line would kill you.
They concluded that no, it won’t. Because men do not urinate a straight flow, once you see it in slow motion, it becomes clear. it feels like a straight flow, but it is actually several spasms of urine. so electricity cannot be conducted until your body
unless, obviously, the jerk stepped on the trainline to urinate

Or maybe he was jerking off. Jizz would have completely different characteristics from urine and I’ll bet it would stay in a line, as opposed to droplets.
I think I’ll write to Mythbusters and tell them they need to try this out. Maybe during May Sweeps.

Turns out he was electrocuted through his hand, not through his wang, according to the autopsy.
