SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 11 (UPI) -- A British YouTuber traveled to Arizona for a video answering the question of what being shot with a Taser looks like in super slow motion.

Gavin Free, creator of The Slow Mo Guys channel on YouTube, posted a video to the site showing what happened when he traveled to Taser's Arizona headquarters to film what it looks like when a stun gun is used to shoot a man's bare skin.

The video, which slows the shooting down to 28,500 frames per second, takes a slow-motion look at the way the man's muscles react to the impact of the probes on the bare skin of his back and the ensuing electrical charge, which lasts for five seconds.

"That's a long freakin' five seconds," the volunteer, Dan, says after being shocked by the Taser's probes.
