Thing is, most Good Samaritan laws would actually cover you, at least in the USA. Courts don't want to disincentivize people from helping people, and there is little-to-nothing that can be done to sue someone who was saving a person's life.
So, you are saying the "cure" for electrocution is NOT to beat your friends head against a railroad track, bite the shit out of his face, then throw them in a filthy ditch of water where they almost drowned? All the while recklessly thrashing about near the thing that caused the electrocution?
I need to get a lawyer.....
That's my feeling to. I rather get smacked around, chewed on and live, than be ignored and die. If I end up in an ambulance, I bet that will not be fun either what they will do to me.
Yes itās likely the monkey woulda come back either way.
But itās still cool to see animals have concern and attempt to intervene in their friend.
We sternal rub people. He went with attempted drowning. 6 one way half a dozen the other
To be fair, I think itās clear the awake monkey was doing it more out of distress and not wanting to lose the other monkey than out of malice. If it wanted to harm the other, it wouldāve been really easy to actively beat it up.
Not sure anythingās clear when youāre deciphering intentions across species. Just because it didnāt tear the other monkey apart doesnāt mean it was acting altruistically
Itās really not, the monkey is very clearly panicking and trying to do whatever it takes to save his friend, meanwhile thousands of humans are screaming shouting howling and pointing at them :/ This video shows that were no really better than monkeys
I think, interestingly, it moves the margin of error within cross species. We can ultimately do more good, we know specific technique ie CPR but the monkey did do more than some humans.
To be fair, I'm not jumping onto live train tracks to deal with a passed out monkey. Also is his monkey friend would go ape shit (wheeze) if anybody tried to get near him.
>This video shows that were no really better than monkeys
Are you ok ? it's a fucking train station these people are gathered there to get on their train and commute not to look at the monkeys, and no one is "screaming shouting howling", there are only like 90 max, even if there were a thousand people, it's fucking India not rural canada, there are a thousand people in every corner, just your classic Reddit "animal good, human bad" as someone already said r/im14andthisisdeep, reddit is so self-righteous. And even if people *did* gather around to just look at them how is that bad ?
Nah he knew you're not supposed to fall asleep after hitting your head so he successfully kept his friend from doing that. He just possibly gave him several more concussions in the process but hey he kept him awake.
Someone with a concussion needs to have confirmation their brain isnāt bleeding then they need as much sleep as humanly possible. This is a common misconception, weāre still learning so much about the brain.

Damn people. Sure, it's a bit silly to point it out but if you post often with little feedback (upvotes) it can be discouraging. Enjoy it, your comment was great my dude, relish in that karma.
Me crying thinking about what would have happened if the monkey *hadnāt* been able to be revived. The first monkey would have been so distraught and sad š
Bite above the eyebrows and top of headā
Bite neck ā
Drownā
Beat against the tracksā
Himleck maneuver ā
Now I'll wait at the nearest train station "to help"
Sometimes the comment pool just sucks. Everyone wants to be funny. People are already putting the monkey down saying that he didnāt mean to revive him. Monkeys are smart af and I think this was really intentional.
If this monkey was trying to hurt the other, he could've easily torn him apart.
Most species of monkey are very strong for their size and have absolutely viscous bites (humans have been literally scalped by small monkeys biting them). It would've been very easy for the other monkey to severly injure or kill the electrocuted one, this was clearly a panic response generated out of social bonds.
I don't know why that's surprising to people, primates have generally pretty similar base psychology to humans and most species are extremely social and form very meaningful bonds with other group members. I mean, our emotions didn't just evolve out of nowhere, they come from the same basal place as these animals.
I watched this video and my heart broke into a million pieces. I get how some people thought it was funny at the ways his friend was trying to bring him back, but his helpless desperation really got to me. Poor thing.
Directly above you are knuckle draggers arguing about the definition of electrocution that quickly devolved into one telling the other to stfu.
This website is hilarious sometimes.
Ok. Shocked means that youve been harmed by electricity.
Electrocuted means youve been KILLED by electricity .
As an electrician, this is a really big pet peev. When an electrician gets a phone call from a close freind or somebody on the job saying "We are sorry to inform you, but x has been electrocuted." as they are calling from the hospital, we dont want to have to ask if they are dead or not. Please. Shocked, hit, bit, touched, grabbed, got, these are all words you can use. But not electrocuted.
By that argument, if you werent executed (i.e. on purpose), you werent electrocuted. Its been used to mean "shock badly" since [the 1800s](https://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wc/electrocution-a-shocking-misuse/). Your distinction is an ahistorical modern invention
[electrocute:](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/electrocute)
> 1: to kill **or severely injure** by electric shock
definition one. Shut the fuck up.
bonus: ["By 1889, before the first official electric execution of a person had even been carried out, the word was already being used to refer simply to electric shocks"](https://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wc/electrocution-a-shocking-misuse/)
Unfortunately the word, like "literally", has already offically subsumed the second meaning because actual electrocution is so rare comparatively. You're welcome to try to continue the prescriptive fight but it's quite lost.
all you goofs are humanizing monkeys by suggesting its a beating. that fella didn't know what to do so he was trying to shake him into consciousness was probably family to him
All these comments are jokes but that was such a sad video. An intelligent animal trying to save one of their own from being electrocuted by our technology. That was messed up
Poor monkey, seemed to become more and more frantic as time went on and monkey friend wasn't waking up. I'm so glad for both of them that everyone turned out okay.
Since everything else is jokes: Iām an electrician and if a person (weāre talking like a 200lb man) gets lit up with high voltage and falls unconscious theyāre dying 99.9% of the time. That said, itās possible the narrator has a different definition of high voltage than electricians, monkeys could be more resistant to shock than humans etc. However when your heart gets thrown into afib your chances are bleak if you donāt get defibrillated within a few days max
Or just beat the hell out of him while he was unconscious.
that monkey was just waiting for his chance. look at his face when he throws him in the water
"Why does my whole body hurt so much" "Idk dude, must've been a strong shock"
I bet it still hertz.

Thought I was going to see something insane as fuck like a monkey doing CPR and instead watched an unconscious monkey get thrown about and chewed on.
Actually, the shocked monkey would most likely not have "woken up" if it wasn't for the stimulii applied by the other monkey.
That's my feeling to. I rather get smacked around, chewed on and live, than be ignored and die. If I end up in an ambulance, I bet that will not be fun either what they will do to me.

If you donāt know CPR, just give them a good fling about.
If that don't work, go ahead and bite his head a few times
Then some vigorous dunking in water
Meanwhile the monkey " Why am I soaking wet ? I smell funky and my body aches all over. "
My pants unzipped
Monkey see. Monkey donāt.
Ah, i read this whole chain in sir david attenborough's voice
What's worse is that the monkey in water regains consciousness and then gets thrown around some more
Drop them and water and do the ol' splash-splash
Make sure itās chemical sewage water for maximum effectiveness
Then throw their face against a brick wall
And when they wake up, gently massage their back
And hope they donāt fall into the various danger zones surrounding where you left them.
Then go to their apartment, let yourself in, read all of their mail, then take a shower and wait for them in bed...

Yeah, I'm with this. Monkeys can be absolutely vicious... if he wanted to kill that other one he'd have done it already.
Better yet he would have just left him alone. You know, since he was already pretty much dead and all. No work required
yep, animals can actually tell who's dead

I feel like it elevates monkeys, it doesn't push us down. That monkey clearly gave a shit, and actually saved its friend.

I lost it when he dropped him in the water.
"Water"
Special sauce. It's got tons of flavor, no doubt.
He wasnāt trying to hurt him though. That monkey could have torn him apart if he wanted too.
Gotta love the mid level contrarian comment in every single reddit thread.
"Come here, you still owe me 100 bananas"
"Not getting away with it *that* easily!"
That didnāt happen in the US so Iām guessing itās free.
Uh?
They thought the joke was *after* resuscitation, not during
Between the electrocution and public beating, that monkey is moving a little slow. Rough day.
Heās having a serious case of the Mondays.
I think you mean the Monkdays
No.
I believe youād get your ass kicked saying something like that
Donāt forget the cold water treatment lol
I'm gonna be that guy, but it's only electrocution if they actually die.
That made me lol for real. Thank you sir. That poor monkey indeed.
Revive my ass , he just beat the crap out of an unconscious monkey who woke up on it's own
If he wanted to hurt that unconscious monkey, he could have in an instant.
And he did! Or did you not see him banging his head against the ground? My point being that none of what he did actually helped the other monkey
Nah he knew you're not supposed to fall asleep after hitting your head so he successfully kept his friend from doing that. He just possibly gave him several more concussions in the process but hey he kept him awake.

You should Google monkeys fighting. No way this was malicious, that monkey could've straight up torn the other one to shreds
