I have seen lots of electrocution videos where the victims get “glued” to the very object that killed them, like electricity poles, to the point that they stay in the air and not fall on the ground. How/Why?
In: Physics
They don’t get glued, their muscles contract. If they’re holding something with their hand, it will close until the electricity stops running through it. If they stand on something, their leg muscles will contract and stiff up not allowing them to move.
In the field if I had to check for leaky voltage, I would touch the surface with the back of my hand. This made sure that if I felt the shock my hand wouldn’t close towards the surface.
