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
Our muscles work by being stimulated with electrical signals from the brain, so when you get electrocuted all the muscles along the path to ground contract, often violently, so you just naturally grab onto whatever is shocking you. There are exceptions, over a certain voltage/amperage (not sure which) you will be knocked away instead because it’s one sudden, violent contraction rather than just tensing everything up.
