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
Imagine your body is like a puppet with strings attached to your arms and legs. When electricity passes through your body, it makes those strings pull really tight, causing your muscles to squeeze and tighten up, kind of like when you make a really tight fist with your hand.
Now, if you were holding onto something when the electricity hit you, your hand would clamp down on it really hard and your muscles would lock up, making it seem like you’re stuck to that thing, even after the electricity stops.
So, it’s not that you’re really glued to it, but your muscles are just so tight and stiff from the shock that you can’t let go or move away. It’s a scary thing that can happen when people get shocked by electricity.
