Why do electrocuted people get “glued” to the electrocuting object?

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?

Your brain uses electrical signals to tell your body how to move and what muscles to contract.

If you grab a live wire, all that electricity sends a signal that looks just like “grab tight” to your arm.
