Obviously if we put live electricity in the sea, the whole ocean wouldn’t then become dangerous with it. At what point does the electricity stop? What stops it?

Since I finally got an excuse to ask: I saw a movie once, in which the hero killed a bad guy, by showing a taser into a guys mouth, while they both were in a lake, and they were locked in battle.

Whether it was an actual tazer, or some other kinda electrical thingamajig, I could not say for certain, but it worked a treat in the movie. Presumably the effect was improved by the bad guy being in the water.

However, assuming the device would be lethal while shoved down the bad guys throat, wouldn’t it also at least backfire a little on the hero? They’re touching each other, and both are properly dunked. Although, in an entire lake.

The movie, which might be slightly spoiled if you know the title, is >!Striking distance, with Bruce Willis!<
