Another sensible bit of advice from Rich: don't electrocute yourself

Had an encounter with mains electricity last night. Just a warning that it does hurt a lot! I've got blisters on my skin now. Luckily I'm completely fine. I picked up an extension lead (in the dark) to plug my phone charger in. However, the plastic casing of the extension lead had been damaged, and whereas my fingers went under, my apposable thumb went on top... right across the wires completing the circuit. Queue a feeling like my thumb is being crushed in a vice, half a second later me going 'ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!' (you get the idea anyway ), and another half a second later dropping it.
I've been shocked before, but mains electricity is something else don't do it folks!
Have a good day now

mains electricity = bad
mine wasnt that bad, I've just got two small blisters now (about the size of pinheads). Hurt a lot though
awww you daft tattie, glad your ok now. I have a shock from an electirc fence once and that hurt a bit!
My girlfriend has horses and has an electric fence, that does make you jump a bit . I used to play and grab the fence then my girlfriend to give her a shock. The way hers was set up is that it gives out a pulse every 2 seconds or so like a strong static shock really. She turns it off now though cos the horses dont really bother with it
I think people can put 1 + 1 together.
I don't understand why it takes you so long to take your hand away though, its strange.
It involed Myself, a wet spunge, a sink with water and a kettle. :shocking: :shocking: :shocking:
Finally back mate, where the fuck where you?
Good think you were able to drop it! The way I had heard it 220 volts is inevitable death if no one is around to pull you away!
I guess that wasn't entirely true then...
Trust me, take care... I do take alot more care now.
yep... that's why those teezer thing can go up to 10,000Volts without killing the guy... must be a weird feeling tho... fucking 10,000Volts...
I made a good old camera flash taser.
Fuck they hurt ;(
And Indrid - Not done a wall socket, but I have managed to get off of an old AT pc switch that I shorted (twice, doh!), and a switch in a mains wire.
I dunno how, I a remember is my body muslces all going tense and I had no control. Fuck it was odd.
I did the fucking same... big minds think alike...
It hurted as well... even tried it on metal it even melted some metal on impact...
I used to use it on my class mate too... was good fun... fucking easy to do too...
It burnt me. Damn thing.
Does this make us physcos...?
That among other things you mean
