twice i came close to a near death experience- first when i was 12 iwas cutting the lawn with an electric flimo and cut the wire- didnt go off so i picked up the wire and pulled the cut piece apart... one blue flash later and very nearly burned myself- i had shorted the entire house and spent the afternoon refusing the entire fuse box in my parents house- it must have been nearly 30 years ago when i did that one! and second i put the jump leads of my car on the wrong way round to jump start my bosses car about 20 years ago- first time i done that too- mass of yellow white sparks and a a loud bang! again i managed not to burn myself- everyone thought i had electrocuted myself... wow that made me jump! now i look at it and think was i stupid or what?

I ran over the cord of an electric lawn mower once...right after a rainstorm (when Dad says "I'll give you $20 if you mow the lawn", you don't stop to think about such things as electricity and water)...

Never did figure out how the lawn mower ended up on the roof of the house.

When I was young and stupid I had Sunday lunch with a friend and his family. Their custom was to all hold hands for prayer around the table before eating. My friend and I took that time to use one of those very old telephone-winding-generator-thingies.
We had the hiding of lives and needless to say we were refused to have any of the food, but it was still worth it...

So glad I found this, what a funny tale...my wife got a bigger kick out of it (but of course she did, I was picturing myself going through the trauma!).

Just a point of reference: in using the electric chair ("old sparky") to administer a death sentence, the electrocution protocol in 2004 called for administration of a 15-second-long application of 2,450 volts of electricity...and this device administered 100,000 volts?!? Egads, we guys be a crazy animal, no?

Cheers!
Jim

It's current that kills you .7 amps can stop your heart. A friend of mine had a Taser and wanted to know how it felt. So I volunteered. I Tasered him and he definitely bounced on the floor. Given the opportunity,I'd do it again. For scientific/curiosity reasons though. Come to think of it I have not seen him for a while, we had a business together but for some reason, split up.
