Key points if you don't wanna read the article
The male that was electrocuted went into cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital, information on his condition today is not up to my knowledge
The female friend was reportedly conscious when emergency services responded, but was also hospitalised following her injuries
According to the National Weather Service, the human body is capable of surviving exposure to high voltages, with the average lightning bolt containing 300 million volts. However, 50 volts of electricity is enough to kill a person.

how did the guy in white not get electrocuted too? wouldn't electricity conduct through the bodies of his friends when he started to pull them off the rails?

Because he was isolated from the ground, the other two were sitting on the tracks which means the electricity has a easy way to ground, the kid in white was probably wearing gym shoes or something that isolated him from the ground, or he's secretly Thor or some kind of electric wizard.

I dunno why voltage is always referenced in these things - as OP explained 50 volts is enough to kill.. 6 volts is enough to kill. Voltage is more a measure of the speed of the electricity through the circuit and a static electrical charge can be 20,000 volts but it won't kill you. It's really the amps that kill you but I guess it's not cool to read that the kids died from 30 amps.

good luck pushing 6 volts through the resistivity of a human torso without inserting needle electrodes directly across the heart tissue.
In general a good correction though.

Yeah that is a good point you'd need to be hooked up to direct probes into your body or something. I remember old 6 volt car batteries in UK cars would spark up enough to give you a good wallop tho.

How many amps can I take before I die?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's said that as few as like 0.005 of an amp can kill you but that would be like putting paddles on either side of an exposed heart because the human body has natural resistance to electricity but it's possible. Another thing is that electricity will always take the path of least resistance and it's weird what people can survive - like walking away after getting hit by lighting. a TASER that cops use uses only 2 miliamps (0.002) to paralyze but it's effective because those steel probes puncture the skin and get right into you.
So the answer unfortunately is like most things, "It depends".

Depends on if the current runs through your heart and causes severe arrhythmia leading to cardiac arrest. Over 6 mA directly over your heart can induce a fatal arrhythmia, resistance of your soft tissues usually mean you need to be touching a source amperage of around 200 mA to be dangerous. The higher the voltage AND amperage, the more likely it is to kill. And it really doesn't matter whether we talk about volts or amps killing you, as in order for the amperage to be higher, there needs to be sufficient voltage. High voltage often means high amperage due to Ohm's law.

Knowing the volts is nice, but what about the amperage? Static electricity can be ~15k volts, after all.

It's more the flow (path of current) that kills, not energy.

You must study physics or engineering. It also depends on the path that the electricity takes through the body. I've been shocked by 120V on a ladder while wiring a light and just felt a jolt. If it took a different path through my heart that could've killed me. You're absolutely right though, it's a combination. It must have the voltage to overcome the resistance and the appropriate current/electrons to cause enough of a disturbance in the contraction of the heart. With AC people start shaking violently, in this case you can tell it's DC because they're planking.

Possibly but I usually don't hear electricians talking about energy being the ability to do work and then listing various forms of energy. I'm a 4th year mechanical engineering student. I did electrical work for a while and have befriended electricians and technicians at various industrial jobs I've worked through college.

On your knees, bucko. Someone shoulda broke you a long, long time ago. I have nary met a buck I can't chuck with this here long and mighty dingus! I tell ye back in aught-4 I met a real mean one. He had big, air stealing nostrils, monstrous, boot lips, muscles that rippled under his cobalt skin so it'd look like a nest'a snakes as he'd be twisting here and yonder. T'was an older gentleman, the owner d'ye ken?, that had hired me to break this particular buck. Was some half-dozen breakers what had tried and failed! I tracked this this big-assed baboon, by fallerin' the sounds of his impressive proud buttocks, clapping as he capered to and fro on yon gentleman's land. There he be, proud as a damn peacock, black slave's body framed by yon settin' sun, just begging to be broke. I approached from the east, formerly westerly way. Took him unawares as he were sat alone out front a shack, mending a loincloth or some such. Knocking him to his glistening buttocks produced a thund'rus CLAP, and I mounted from the front. I tell ye boy, but that buck began to FIGHT! This unbroken, proud negro was ornery I tell ye, but I ain't ne'er been denied, d'ya ken it? I had my cock out in an instant as he scrambled onto his black belly and began ta' wrigglin' this way and that. And bucko did he began to wail! As loud as prairie lightning he were. This buck could tell the breaking was coming, and I tell ye, he did BUCK. This obstinate cur could turn on a dime and give ye some change! I tell ye as the winds were my witness, he were a right sunfish, struggling and flopping as he did, gyrating his unbroken black anus and dodging my breaker man's meat. But he broke, and I finished the job. D'ye ken? That buck broke. Say sorry, boy. But they all break. By the man Jesus and his snowy white pappy, now say hallelujah, boy, you'll break, too!
