any thoughts? I personally think this kid is dumb to not know that water conducts electricity. I mean, even I knew that, and I learned that from pokemon for god sakes!! why would you stick a console, knowing it has airvents and fans to cool itself down, in water, and still think that it cannot be destroyed by placing it in water, let alone with the cord still attached and plugged in. What was this kid thinking???funtechtalk.com wrote: A 14 year old boy from Brevard, North Carolina was nearly killed Sunday while trying to stop his Xbox 360 from overheating.
While his mother was away the boy had taken the power supply and wrapped it in plastic and tape. In an attempt to cool it off, he submerged it into a pan of water with the cord still plugged in. The boy had regained consciousness by the time paramedics had arrived. He was taken to the Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard where he spent the night.
Aside from getting knocked unconscious the boy only suffered small burns to his right hand and foot.
Any thoughts on the matter?
