"Youtube was the culprit. It needs to be stopped. We need to monitor what's being put out to our kids," added the grandfather. "There's no going back. This can enlighten other parents too."
It's sad but I'm not sure that's the conclusion we should come to.

Scary,
When it comes to quick adjustments, there is a low limit for how many you can do with a live system!

Well there goes my YouTube channel when they start blocking "dangerous" content but still allowing "Top 10 most lethal car crashes June edition!"

The comments say "It's not known which YouTube tutorial he was following when he was killed".
which is nonsense.
None of the tutorials say "electrocute yourself". It's when you stop following the instructions that you end up in trouble.

Who said it was a tutorial?
Could be just plain copying the unspecified wire-mess of a show-off video using random wires found in the garage.
Also, schematics rarely give topology, also a place of danger there! (keep this away from that, don't lay this connection on a metal surface e.t.c.)
Others (assume you) have a safety system for total power disconnect, that may be outside what is shown in the video.

I watched a video of a middle-aged man presenting this in his shop, and he gave CONSTANT warnings not to do this unless you knew what you were doing.
What you should be asking is where were the parents.
Of course I was always doing very dangerous things without my parents approval, and mostly when they were out of sight, so he was probably doing the same thing.
Kids want to do dangerous shit because its "fun", it's not until we are older that we (some of us) realize exactly how close we were to killing ourselves doing something stupid.
So, if you have kids, and they want to do dangerous shit, do it with them to keep them safe, don't just tell them NO, that does not work and they may die as a result of it.

Exceeding ones skill is always dangerous. World class experts know when to pull it on back. that's called judgement.
all scientists, engineers and machine operators (who are competent) know how to calculate that risk versus reward.
A lot of these people don't have the experience to see the danger approach till its to late. then get hurt or killed.
Thrill seekers who do reckless and dangerous things on TV are also a problem influencing kids.

Putting an age limit on Youtube would not help and actually may be counterproductive.

You could have both knowledge and experience and still fall foul to a moment's inattention.

And . . . for those on the bleeding edge of technology and science could make a potential fatal discovery, never seen before by any human.
As with Röntgen, Curie and Becquerel.
Or organo-phosphate-chlorides. You think your making some great discovery, not realizing your looking death in the face the whole time.

Yes, that happened at Mach 1.4 on the Virgin galactic high altitude flight recently. You could have both knowledge and experience and still fall foul to a moment's inattention.
