Not to read too much into a video like this, but their tone when they say "Flipper, what did you do...?" — and then a bunch *more* switching — is quite the study in humans and (ab)use/hacking of technology.
I came here to say exactly this … complete avoidance of responsibility on the author of the videos part.
“Flipper what did you do?”
Should have been
“What did I make flipper do?”
In addition the articles title “flipper causes meter to self destruct” should be titled “person using radio device to cause smart meter to rapidly turn on an off causes failure in meter components”.
I’d probably phrase it more like “Idiot with ‘hacking tool’ rapidly switches electricity meter without understanding current inrush and failure states of high voltage high current system, luckily escapes death by explosion or causing a fire”
