text: Tasers are supposed to offer people protection, but for one dim-witted youngster there was one person even the most powerful stun gun couldn't protect him against - himself. Dangelo Conner, from New York, filmed himself messing around with the powerful weapon in a friend's apartment, first waving it around, then sending volts coursing through a Coke can. But his antics all went horribly wrong after he decided to electrocute a metal bracelet while he was still holding it, sending the current through his hand and into his body. Dangelo Connor, from Brooklyn, New York, filmed himself messing around with a powerful stung gun. He first electrocuted a Coke can, but his antics all went horribly wrong when he zapped a bracelet he was holding . Proving that the weapon lives up to its reputation, he is instantly laid out on the floor, his muscles twitching uncontrollably, while his two friend laugh in the background. Since Dangelo, who also goes by the name of Mikkey, posted the footage on his Facebook page the video has gone viral, being viewed more than 17million times. Users have branded the video 'hilarious', while one girl Kayla Chambers said it was the 'best thing I ever seen'. However not everyone has been supportive. Michael Salami Dinh branded Dangelo a 'useless waste of space', while Dustin Carroll added: 'What a dumbass.' After the current passes through the bracelet and into him, Deangelo collapses on the floor and begins twitching uncontrollably while his friends laugh in the background .
