Can I use a dropcord in the pool?

Damn!

They appear to be rubber swim suits - though still isn't ok.

It would probably be best if it wasn't a GFCI. The gene pool needs to be thinned out a bit in this case.

what the hell would a rubber swimsuit have to do with it?

I tend to agree with you on this one. They are too stupid to be allowed to reproduce but probably already have and that is really too bad.

Not to change the subject of their idiocy, what country are they located in?

The plug ends don't look like what's normally used in North America.

Staged.

Some Germans having some fun with a (not plugged in) power bar and extension cord.

This pic was in another group and is old by days/weeks. They (folks) were referred too as Germans.

I strongly suspect the wire was not plugged in, but that's just me.

Maybe. Maybe distilled water in the pool? (ok, that's staged too)

Nothing looks "staged", or phoney for that matter.

There is no return path to complete a circuit, as long as nobody goes to handling those cord with wet hands.

Whether the water is a conductor or not, it is not grounded... and thus not a risk.

I've drug my long one through the pool to get to the other side with the blower and edger. BUT, the open ends with the connectors weren't in the water.

Those Bubbas look like they wouldn't notice a little 110 shock. Might even cook a little fat off of them. Looks like they DID take a couple of precautions at least ...... the rubber shoes to support the MOS, the electricians tape to hold the splitting maul on to the extension cord, wood table top. Probably subconscious and unplanned, but better than nothing.

Is that a splitting maul? Is that to take the hot cord into the pool and make the inevitable quicker, or to help it fall outward from the water?

"Who pissed in the pool? Are you trying to kill someone!!!

Well, you can be the first one to do a belly buster into the pool then.

Not just you.

Right, and another photo from the original site:

Not a problem. (Actually, I've set up something fairly similar to that, and been in the water.)

There is no circuit path through the water, or through any person in the water (unless you're dumb enough to go up there and grab onto a wet wire).

Doesn't look like they are being electrocuted to me... ;-)

awhile ago there was a photo of a workman standing on a ladder in a commercial pool drilling into the cieling.........

a isolation transformer would be a excellent move to increase safety
