omg, not fun.

I work for a small private car wash and quick lube shop.

Im holding a hose in one hand and I reach to turn on the switch for the pressure...

BZZZZZZZZ ahhhhhh

It was only for 2 seconds... but omg, my hands were numbed, my body was feeling wierd. I felt a little disoriented... But i didnt fall down or pass out or convulse.

But damn.. that is not a good feeling at all.

Who else has been shocked before?

YEP, worked at KFC, mopping kitchen floor had to roll a small freezer out of they way and had to unplug it to mop underneath it, didn't want to yank the chord so i went for the plug...bzzzzzzzzttt, just for a second though

I got hit by line-level AC current once when I was a kid. The light fixture above the sink mirror wasn't grounded, and apparently the house was grounded on some of the pumbing. I was washing my hands, and I leaned up to turn the light on, with my left hand in the sink and touching the drain, and the second I touched the light I got lit up.

What you really have to watch out for is high amperage and especially DC power. 210 AC gives you a jolt but its really not that bad for brief periods of exposure. [img]smile.gif[/img]

a long time ago when i was plugging in a stereo, i grabbed the plug the wrong way and i got my fingers in there. it wasnt really anything much.

ive zapped myself several times on my car, but it was barely anything.

only a few times for me, but the first time involved an HEI distributor & some bad wires :eek:

I almost got rocked a few weeks ago. Changing the alternator...forgot to disconnect the battery...and tried to unscrew the connection of the alternator to the battery. It sent up a few sparks about 2 feet into the air. That was fun. Oh, and it just so happens, the alternator is the first stop for power from the battery...

I've been shocked a time or three. Got stuck with a welding rod once, 220 isn't fun to have run through you.

never did that again

Im not even sure how many volts this was...

Couldnt have been too much, i have no burns, i wasnt really hurt, more suprised and tingly in my hands.

My bro says he has been shocked atleast 10 times from it in the past 2 years, so im guessing its a weak current but enough to give you a shock.

volts dont mean it's Amps that really count

1 amp can blow you hand off... or at least give you a really bad day/ fight for your life

.003 amp can kill you..... (not liklye but it can

9 poeple have died from sticking 9 volts on there touges [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img]

you can have 100,000 volts and only .001 amps and you cant feel it you hair will only stand up
