…. higher …. It has metal in its, it has electrical wires in it, the cage for the fight is made of metal,
the seating is made of metal, the atmosphere will have a lot of moisture in it, and if it rains there
will be water everywhere and all this stuff conducts electricity like a champ.

We could be looking @ a mass casualty event.
