Have You Ever Been Electrocuted?

Once when I was 8 I was visiting relatives in Alberta who
ran a farm. They had a small trailer out back where my
cousins and I would hang out and listen to this cool new
band called Guns N Roses and play cards. I was heading
towards the trailer with only socks on and reached for the
door handle.

BRZAAAAAAP!

I got launched back about five feet and landed on my ass,
screaming like a little shit. It was a really weird
experience because it wasn't painful but instead felt like I
was being shaken really roughly. After I got back up, I
found out that had I been standing in water I probably would
have been dead.

Electrocution. Its whats for dinner.

youch.

yeah i have been electro-cute-d.
yes a very strange feeling.
in australia we use 240v not the pussy 110v of north
america.
but ive been told its the amps or something that you have to
look out for.
but anyway..
i was about 13-14y.o.
we had an oil column heater. one of those ones on wheels
that heats up the oil inside. lol and when you first turn
them on it sounds like you are fry'n hot chips..
one of the lights under the switch was not working so i
stupidly decided to take the cover of the switch and stick
my finger in there to try and wiggle some life back into the
lightbulb.. and.. Zappo!!..
i was sitting down on the carpet next to the heater. i
remember kinda bouncing a bit.. and after it happened the
joints in my arm hurt for a while.. but yeah.. guess i was
lucky not much happend, thou it was quite a shock..

all in all.. respect ecectricity kids.. and remember.
"just one flash and you could be ash!"

No I Have Never Been Electrocuted Except If You Count That
One Time When I Purposely Touched An Electric Wire Fence Or
Whatever It's Called That Was Used To Keep Cattle In Place.
It Hurt Like A Bitch.

against an electric fence, zap, straight up my arm, sharp
spasms, it felt like someone had kicked me in the armpit

electric fence once

otherwise there's this great drinking game where you hold
each your handle-ish thing and have to press a button at the
right time. last one to press gets a shock and has to takee
a shot... loose once, loose forever!

yes, once i rested my hand on an electric fence (it was
dark, and I was going to place my hand on the wooden fence,
but there was a small electric wire hovering over the top
that I didn't see). it made my heart jump i guess.

I heard with high voltage mostly, it doesn't shock and throw
you back. Instead it sucks you in which makes sense I guess
since you're completing the electric circuit. It glues you
to it and keeps electrifying you.

I got electrocuted trying to put a record player back
together, I got a direct line of 240 volts, took me about 5
seconds to throw away what I was holding onto, no matter how
hard I tried I couldn't move my muscles, I was shaking
involunteraly for a while afterwards, it didn't really freak
me out all that much just because it happened far too quick
for me to get a chance to get freaked out by it,

I don't recommend it, 2 out of 10

i was about 5-6, electric fence. i ran across a pasture
field and suddenly got kicked in my stomach. i was shocked
and at first didn't know what had happened. like someone
invisible was there, haha

yeah 4 times.
I still can't believe it can kill.

The only time I can't remember is when I was about 3 years
and I was playing with a metal drill. My dad was repairing
some stuff and I put the metal drill into electric point
hole behind his back.
My dad told me that he heard a loud scream and in a reflex
he kicked me away from the electric point.

I still think that made me a bit immune for getting
electrocuted.

Yeah, I was in Ireland at my mate's relative's house. We
were in one of their fields and this scary looking angry
bull was staring at us and then started chasing after us. We
obviously ran and reached a wire fence. I started climbing
over is as my friend walked out of the gate I hadn't seen..
The fence was electric. Hurt quite a lot!
