Shocked by Electricity...  email this discussion to a friend?

mptamd (21) 5 years ago

Today I went to work as usual. However, the unexpected happened. I was in a scissor lift (a machine that acts as an elevator, but has wheels at the bottom of it) building a structure. Anyways, the scissor lift was dying (ran out of electricity), and thus, we plugged it in. Nonetheless, the grounding prong of the extension cord was cut off. Because of that, when I touched the 'metal' structures frame I was shocked with 120 volt (I think) of electricity. WHY THE HELL WAS THE PRONG CUT OFF AND WHO CUT IT OFF? Lucky I'm not dead.

Do you have an interesting "shocked by electricity story?

I always get grounded when I plug and unplug appliances. I remember being grounded when I touched the switch of our old refigerator's light! The most painful of all is when I unplugged our electric water heater... I accidentally touched the heater itself and I received a big shock. The beating of my heart was painful and I even had trouble breathing..

Yeah, when you get shocked, it is so horrible. But, I guess by getting shocked, we can learn from our past mistakes of not being more conscious of the things we are touching that contain electricity. Everyday you learn a new thing. Everyday you get a bit stronger.

P.S. Next time get someone else to unplug the water heater for you :)! lol
