It will make your life miserable, make you swear like you never have, cause you to throw things, yet can be as easy to tame as simply buying a new battery and tightening your connections after having been towed in this morning.

If your gonna be stupid you better be strong

i took 220 volts yesterday. knocked me down

I took 220v the other day. It was horrible !!

I shouldn't tell y'all this, but........ I was in attic. Turned breaker off. Then touched hot side. LOL. Limited light is my excuse !!!

Those are the lessons that stick with you

Pool pump

Touching one hot leg can be an accident but to touch two takes an idiot.

A few months ago was starting a compresser at work and had 480 volts blow the control cabinet door off and hit me.

Racking in / out 480 volt, 4160 volt, and 13.8 kv breakers is fun too... Actually, it sucks

Got across a 600 VDC hoist motor a few years ago
Yes I tasted copper the rest of the day

I work on cars and boats. 12v just tingles a little bit.

110 sucks just as bad, it holds you to it prolonging the shock.

Good thing you didn't jump in eh

Changin out ceiling fans a few months ago buddy said breaker was off... It wasnt fell off the chair I was standing on twitched a couple times.. Good news is it tripped the breaker so he knew what one it was..

^^^^^LOL nice.... Damn old ladys .

Local mine had a guy killed racking over a 13.5 breaker in an environment with conductive atmosphere (taconite dust) flash over from the contacts opening up blew the cabinet up and him along with it. Gotta be careful with high voltage, in the right environment they can arc through open air over a pretty large distance, you dont even need to touch them.

Back when I lived with my mom and dad, I had a horse in a stable about 300ft from the hoouse. Had a long cord going to the stable for light. The end of the cable only had 1 outlet and I needed more plugs. My dad had this plug brick that I was going to use. Being dumb I forgot to turn off the breaker or unplug the cord. Actually thought I had unplugged the cord.
Binded down hard on the pliers and whack. Muscles tightened up and I couldn't let go of the pliers. Couldn't open my hand at all. Finally stepped on the cord and jerked my hand off. Felt like 10mins had passed by. Tingled for a while after.
Bad thing is I didn't trip a breaker or nothing.

Learned very fast that I don't like electricity.

Now when doing something in the house I will double check breakers. If that isn't enough, I trip the main to the whole house.

guy working round one of the local plants where i live got killed. its not the voltage that kills its the amps. takes only a couple of amps to kill a human. this unfortunate soul was on a scissor lift working near the power lines for the plant. somehow he came into contact with 70,000 amps. to put that in perspective, youre outside ac draws about 20 to 25 amps.

And to think I work on power lines

Looks like some peoples should have got volt meters for christmas.
