    If that thing goes into the water the battery is going to short out and electrify that pool. They could either get electrocuted or killed by exploding batteries. Either way their death wouldn’t be boring.

      Eh, it’s low voltage DC (mega high current tho). It should all short pretty close to itself (electricity takes the shortest, least resistive path). If it toppled sideways they’d be like 10’ away. They’d be fine. Most heavy equipment uses lead acid batteries too, and they don’t explode like lithium ion.

      Still not safe fo sho, but I don’t think electrocution is high on the probability list.
