Ever been electrocuted?

Question

what happened?

Answer 1

Once plugging a plug into an outlet, my finger slipped and hit the tongs. Not to bad on that one, shocked went blank and fell back.

Another time we were painting my room and I got out of the shower, and as I was flipping the light on, the faceplate to the switch was gone, my thumb slipped inside and shocked from the switch. This one was bad I blacked out and fell down and back when my knees buckled.

Answer 2

There was this Christmas ornament, it was a chirping bird sound that it made. One day it didn't work, so I opened up the ornament without unplugging it.

I felt my fingers thumping, and it hurt a little.

Another time, when I was like 3 years old, I put a knife in the electrical outlet. That hurt. It burned up my arm. The next day my little brother was doing the same thing, I leaned on him to watch, not realizing that I wasn't safe, and I got hurt again.

If you want an interesting experience, take a fully charged nine-volt battery and put it on your tongue - your tongue will twitch around and it'll taste like Mexican food.

I heard a story about this one kid, who was a jerk so I didn't feel sorry for him, who touched the third rail on the railroad on a dare, and it was at a time when it was active. I heard the electricity stimulated his muscles so that he jumped so high that he landed way off to the side in the bushes. Stupid stupid stupid.

Why? Did you get the chair or something?

Answer 3

YES. i was around 12 years old, I was lying in a bed and for some reason the lamp on the ceiling had an external cable which terminated with the light switch right above the bed. It wasnt working, it did not want to turn on, so me, in my infinite wisdom and high intelligence, decided to unscrew the light switch( it was a really old one, so you could unscrew it with hands). Following this, I touched with my index finger some metal plate inside the switch, and I felt the electricity like a wave inside my body, I felt it rising from my stomach upwards, and thankfuly, I disconnected my finger form the metal and sat up in my bed, my hand was in an involuntary fist. It was pretty scary, but it was not painful, just really startling and strange. At the time, I was living in a european country, so the voltage was 220, it could have killed me easily. I guess it was not my time.

Answer 4

I have been electrocuted many times with 110 ac and even once with 220, knocked me clear across the floor, but I'm still here

Answer 5

If someone was electrocuted they wouldn't be able to answer your question, because if you are electrocuted you are dead.

However, if people can get shocked by electricity, and from what I heard it stuns you, hurts, and kind of burns. It leaves you kind of frazzled.

Hope this helped.

Answer 6

Yes I was.
Got hit putting out a fire on a office roof in a factory.
440 volts was the circuit that got me.
I was hit 5 or six times, the guy I was working with said he saw it enter me and exit my shoulder to some steel five feet away.
As for what happened I finished my job and went home for the day. Felt like I had been slamming expresso shots for a few hours as well as having been beaten down in a nasty bar fight.

Answer 7

Yes... aggg!

I had just gotten out of the shower (still damp), and I went into the garage to get my clothes from the dryer. I stepped on a power cord that had exposed wires. It sent a numbing jolt through my body, and paralyzed me for a moment. Since I couldn't move it just kept shocking me. Finally I was able to remove my foot... maybe it threw me off... I'm not sure. I stumbled back into the house shaking with my hair sticking straight up... like you see in movies. It took a bit, but I was relatively fine afterwords.

Thanks for bringing back bad memories... J/K! ;)

Answer 9

Answer 10

yes..i actually have...it hurt like hell....we had a fish tank fall over and there was water EVERYWHERE! the carpet was soaking wet...we rented on of those carpet cleaners to suck up the water. well i blew a fuse which made my light bulb blow out...so i proceded to change the light bulb (while standing barefoot on a wet carpet mind you) some how my finger went into the socket and i felt this bolt of electricity throughout my whole body (it hurt the worse in my teeth) all i could do was scream and it took all i had to yank my hand out of the lamp....it probably only lasted maybe 1 minute...but felt like an eternity....i don't change lightbulbs anymore...i make my husband do it....

true story...JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ELECTRICUTED DOES NOT MEAN YOU DIE!!!
