That is, one hand hit 115v+, the other hit a ground.

That hurt like a bitch.

I feel fine now but I swear my heart was beating differently after.

Just enough to piss you off as long as you aren't soaking wet or very, very grounded. 120v is more likely to kill than higher voltages, atleast by shock alone.

Blink and you're dead
They are fast, faster than you can believe
Don't turn your back, don't look away
and don't blink.

That is what they call, "A near death experience"

You know, you really should see a doctor, or at least take a visit to the local injury clinic (not the ER, it's for less serious "injuries" if you have one. Getting shocked, especially when it goes through the heart, can screw up your heart rhythm and you might not even notice.


In the Navy, working as an electronics technician, if you ever got shocked, you reported to medical. None of this "I'm a dude, I can handle it" crap.

Yep one time I was preforming a alignment on the driver cards on the back of a 1970's era green tube crt, and 30k volts thought my tweaker tool was a nice ground.

I went to medical told the doc what happened and his jaw hit the floor, then I told him it was low amperage, but it still hurt like hell.

He stopped looking shocked..

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.
