Maybe it wasn't plugged in? I hope it was just a joke photo, because even with a GFCI, I wouldn't want to be in that pool!

Is anyone that drunk/stupid really?

Why? Youd be perfectly fine in that pool. Now, if there was a problem, or the power par was shorting to the water, and you stepped out, touched the ground with your wet foot, then you would feel something. I touch live wires all day with my bare hands. If your not making the path to ground, then OK.

I love that they have opted to use sandals as their floatation device. Seriously, must you grill in your pool?

If getting out of the pool means getting zapped then yes you must grill in the pool

Wouldn't it count that their feet are touching the ground in the pool? I don't think that rubber would be thick enough to insulate them...?

I wouldnt think so, being in the water, if the water was energized, you would become energized as well, but not IN the path. have you ever seen birds on a powerline? Same principle.

BUT, in reality, I would NEVER be in that pool. Cook with charcoal man, Much more flavor Mwahaha
