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 uses electrical signals from your brain to tell your muscles to tense. The muscles are listening for these tiny electrical signals whispering for them to close or relax.
When you get electrocuted you have electricity flowing through your muscles. So what your muscles are hearing is “TENSE UP!” and if you’re holding onto an electrical wire the tiny whisper from your brain telling your hand to let go will not be loud enough to make your hand stop gripping the cable.
