Here are some electromedical facts that should make you think twice before taking chances. It's not the voltage but the current that kills. Any electrical device used on a house wiring circuit can, under certain conditions, transmit a fatal amount of current. Take a look at Table AI-1. Causes no sensation - not felt.
Ventricular fibrillation occurs.
Servere burns, severe muscular contractions - so severe that chest muscles clamp the heart and stop it for the duration of the shock. As the current rises, the shock becomes more severe. As the current approaches 100 milliamperes ventricular fibrillation occurs. This is an uncoordinated twitching of the walls of the heart's ventricles. Electrical shock occurs when a person comes in contact with two conductors of a circuit or when the body becomes part of the electrical circuit.
