Thankfully, both men survived the incident and neither suffered from any serious injuries.
“I saw a yellow spark on my hand and the umbrella handle,” Xiaodong said after the accident. “The electricity traveled up my forearm and my hand was numb afterward. The video didn’t quite capture the sparks. Had the video really captured the current hitting my hand, I probably wouldn’t be standing here giving this interview.”
