Have you ever been electrically shocked?

Post Reply New Topic

In one of my classes in high school, nearly everyone there had said to the teacher that they had been shocked before. I can't recall ever having been shocked myself.

I've never been shocked, but I do own the most powerful stun pen in the world.

almost electrocuted myself in a wall outlet >.<

Power point.

That one hurts.

Well, yes, the generic 'wanna see if this is an electric fence' situation.

yes. electric fence.

Several times. Mainly with electric fences. And not just "Ooh, I wonder if it's electric", but also intentionally. (Everyone hold hands and then touch the fence!)

Ah, the stupidity of youth.

Yep. Transformer for a neon sign... things smelled and tasted funny the rest of the day.


M.

looots of times its really smashing but a funny feeling in your wrists :p

The two wires behind a light switch; Thor hit my hand with his hammer.

I was sent a shock lighter a couple of years ago and what started out as prank pulling turned into a series of dares. WARNING TMI!! ! So my friend shocked his tongue, then I shocked the tip of my pecker (I had so much adrenalin in my bloodstream at this point), then my friend shocked his scrotum. All I can say is that with all of the adrenalin, it didn't hurt that much. Would I do it again? Depends on whether I have a circle of guys around me daring me to do it.

have got shocked pulling the xbox plug out of a socket,and also with putting fingers in sockets.
am didnt feel any pain but was forced back strongly and felt tingling.

I think I recall being shocked ONE time got lucky. But I've shocked myself a few times with my stun gun for logical reasons.

When I was about 6 or 7 yo, I tried to remove a stuck plug from a socket... with a pair of metal scissors... It made a dent on the scissors! (but I don't remember being hurt or feeling anything).

Also, a few years ago, while I was working, I was moving a rolling metallic container (for grease) and I felt like it had a motor running. It took me a few seconds to realize that it had no motor and it was a current that was going through me. Then I saw a nude wire on the wet floor. When I told my boss what happened, he told me to be careful in the future. (What an a-hole!)

I have been, and originally it was by my desire. Outside of a couple times later, I don't think I EVER have on accident. I think I first was when I was like 6. BTW the two times that were on accident were once on a plug, that was hard to remove, I slipped, and once I didn't discharge a power capacitor when I should have, and slipped onto it. The times I did it on purpose were to make sure an inductor worked. I was never in a place where I was in danger, and outside of the almost buzzing feeling, and reflex, I saw no effect. Also, I know how elecricity works, and how it can kill/destroy, so I always prevent that problem. The short point was ALWAYS RIGHT BACK to the circuit.

BTW I once was laughed at by a shop teacher after I revealed I turned off the power to a switch I replaced for a principal at my highschool. HE said I didn't have to. He was right, but I am not going to take chances where I don't have more control. I replaced his switch, with no problem, or shock, etc... BTW About that teacher! I have more fingers(ALL TEN) than HE did! GRANTED, he lost his in sawing accidents, but my point is that I was more careful. BTW I ALSO had a classmate that pulled a stupid stunt on a train, ended up getting caught in ELECTRIFIED cable, and lost both his legs!

BTW This all happened BECAUSE I was unusual. It didn't change me one bit.
