re: Have you ever been electrocuted?

I was once young and stupid (now much older but still stupid), and I grabbed a wire on an electric fence.

I have a bad habit of working on live circuits so I get shocked a good bit. Just pull back and keep going.
Never got burnt. Never hit an open 240. Usually it's dishwashers. I'll be checking for an issue and rub my hand against the terminal and the idiot who installed it left too much lead on the wire.

try getting hit with 240v or fricking lightning.
I've been hit by 240 AND lightning. 240 threw me across the room when I was a teen. Lightning made a spark of fire come out at my pinky toe. Scared the pics out of me

I fricked around with a T1 phone line on a 66 block and found out. That's why they got them little rubber stoppers on there.

Touched my grandfather's electric fence around the cow pasture numerous times while a stupid kid.

Probably 30 or 40 times. Once by either 277 or 480 volts. My dad was an electrician and we used to work hot all the time. Terrible idea, but I was too young to know any better.
The 277/480 one made my bones shake. For all of the 120 volt ones I could feel every cycle. It kind of hurt but was super exhilarating immediately after.

Everyone felt a tingle from 110 before.
Dude, low voltage stings like a sonofabitch. Go touch the hot leg on a phone line.

Rebuilding after 2016. I ate so much house current trying to save money on electricians. I credit it with making me immune to COVID. Last year an antique string of Christmas lights with a broken bulb got me pretty good, too.

Took a bite out of an extension cord that was hooked up to one of those old floor tv’s
when I was around 4 back in 84. Lit my arse up, scars inside my mouth and on the outside.

My Father rewired a floor lamp with a metal body. I went to move the lamp, got shocked, pushed it away (and bent the lampshade) and got chastised for pushing it away.
Then it shocked Father. Last time I saw that lamp.

Yeah. I climbed a tree as a kid and my head hit a live powerline. Next thing I remember was coming to hanging on for dear life to the bottom branch.

I would assume so, just in a good way.

240v a few times. That grab or pull you feel is absolutely terrifying. Arm goes numb for a while but nothing worse than that thankfully.

What causes "120" and these dreaded "240" shocks? I'm curious
I got shocked badly when I was a kid. Was at a carnival and they had those racing games where you roll a ball up to like a triangle of holes like skeeball and it makes your horse gallop so you roll the balls and try to make your horse win the race. Maybe you get what I'm saying.
Anyways. A game was going. And I was a little kid and I could see the metal little flipper the skee ball was hitting in the hole to make the game realize the ball had rolled into that hole.
So I reach my hand down the skeeball alley thing under the little plastic cover to press the metal thing to just... cheat essentially and make the thing move.
I touched the metal flipper and this surge just came over me. Luckily I was able to snap back.
