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?

I learned this from my electronics teacher in high school –
He was working a power saw one day when the a break in the wire caused a path from one hand, through his arms, to the other. Both hands clamped on and wouldn’t release. However, he did remember that you usually retain control of your pectoral muscles in that situation – so before he was killed, he brought his still-clenched hands together and shorted the fault, allowing him to let go.
