Please don't discharge capacitors this way. If it's charged at high voltage you will get a nasty spark. Look up other videos that show how to discharge capacitors properly using a resistor.
The annoying thing about this video, aside from the safety aspect, was his lack of understand of shorting out capacitor. He was talking about holding the pliers for a few seconds to make sure it is properly discharged....NO...that is an immediate discharge which makes it dangerous. So whether you hold it for a split second or 30 seconds it is the same thing. Holding it for a few seconds would apply if you had a resistor attached to it to make it slowly and safely discharge.
Always.....Always best to use a bleeder resistor, afterwards use a volt meter to check if capacitor is Fully discharged. Safety first.....and the reason is called safety first, you might not have a second chance!
Having messed with capacitors in aircraft before I was expecting a spark. I'mm assuming that's what that resistor to ground is doing to help take some of the ompf out of it before hand.

Good example that youtube removing the dislikes is a terrible horrible idea
Next time charge it fully before discharging. You'll make a video much more interesting 😉
Do not try to follow this video. That's super dangerous.

move your camera. your hand is in the way.
Google is to blame for putting people in danger. No warnings. Video should be removed
I wonder how many ppl died from this video
Reported… This is going to hurt someone.
This is a prime example of why the dislike counter should not have been removed.
IF YOU DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT ELECTRONICS, PLEASE READ:
And the Darwin Award goes to................Mr Fix it 360!
wow, 0 dislikes! this must be a great way to discharge a high voltage capacitor!

Please, in all due honor to the intent of this video, but:

well there aren't any dislikes, must be great advice
Nice, also pay's to wear rubber gloves for extra safety. Thank you for the video
Here before this blows up.
