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
Your body cramps up under intense pain and trauma shock. If you stub your toe against door or something, your first reflex would be to tighten every muscle in your body, and only then go “owwwww”…
Electricity is continuous shock and pain, so you’ll stay tense. That’s what makes tasers work, you’re no longer in control of your nervous system.
Now, with really severe electrocution, all sorts of “fun” things start to happen. Your heart can’t pump properly anymore, so you’ll experience cardiac arrest. Your lungs can’t do their work very well, either, so you’ll also suffocate. And the electricity is causing burn damage to your skin and internal organs, and with high-enough voltage, your stomach might turn into electric kettle and boil the contents.
A terrible way to go.
