    Default Not much idea why I'm not dead!

    About 1 am this morning, I was online, boyfriend had gone to bed, dog started whining so I got up to let her out, put the lead on her opened the front door and she went before me, and the consumer unit's in there and I think she knocked something-all the lights went out. I went to get my phone to use to light the unit up, let the dog out, she did her business and came back in, I bent down to see if any switches had tripped and my hand brushed a loose cable-I felt it, it kinda tickled my arm, then bang I was on the floor on my back! I don't know WHY, if the power had the capability to send me flying, why it didn't just kill me.
    I feel okay, as soon as it had happened I went and sat down on the sofa, was a bit shaky, but just carried on chatting to my friend online as if nothing had had happened haha!I think what helped is, I'd been out for dinner with some girlfriends and had a bottle and a half of wine, so because I was a bit tipsy, I wasn't freaked out and didn't panic and fell softly ?! But why didn't it kill me?
    The reason all the cables are exposed is because of my boyfriend's house being the way it is most consumer units hide the cables and are covered-this one is firmly stuck in the wall,. but it is exposed. I've no idea how the dog knocked it out because she wasn't jumping around or wagging her tail she just literally walked past it.
    Moral of the story-life can be 'cut off' at any time! Enjoy yourself and make the right decisions ladies!
    (I feel a bit funny writing that)!But It's true!

    Wow, that sounds scary! I'm glad you're fine, and perhaps another lesson should be, "Always be a bottle of wine deep, no matter what you're doing!"

    Haha true-thanks boths. Well I really think the wine stopped me getting injured from the fall, when you're a bit merry you tend to not get as hurt!lol
    Even if the shock wasn't to kill me I still feel lucky , it could have knocked me unconscious and caused a fire, or anything like that

    Glad you are okay.

    Your boyfriend should not be putting you at risk that way. What was his reaction when he found out you were shocked like that? You are lucky to be alive and I'm wondering if it isn't a fire risk as well.

    Can you find another place to stay?

    Well he came downstairs maybe half an hour later, saying he'd got up to go to the loo and noticed the lights were off,he was mega angry (not with me but because of what had happened with the lights) then he noticed the mains electricity cable and he fixed it up then was like 'JesusChrist Jen you could have been killed are you okay?! And I was like 'Yeh I'm fine don't worry, It's sorted now!Lol'
    As I said, this morning I thought 'fuckin hang on!!' What if I hadn't have noticed the feeling straight off, or had grabbed it thinking it was something else, or something? !Also I wasn't using anything electrical aside from the laptop, at the time. I didn't have the TV on, wasn't cooking didn't have anything using the electric-so I thought it was just the lights. I didn't realise it was the mains cable that had come out, so what if I'd have grabbed it-I know when you're electrocuted your grip tightens with the spasms-so yes once I was in the cold light of what could have happened I was more elated to be alive!Lol
    I am moving out this place at the end of this month-I love him, but I can't live like this I think you've read the 'camming in dive' thread but if you haven't and are MEGA bored, lol read a bit of that you'll see what I mean, I just need to leave

    Thank you-I've been a bit freaked out since and been REALLY careful today when I've passed the thing-mega paranoia!Lol xxxx
    Thanks all! xx
    Apparently I've heard since that it's rare a healthy adult dies from a mains electric cable shock as, like me-most people feel it and let go, before damage is done. But it's certainly still risky and yes, as Laurie said, instant death aside, it's a risk and is not a healthy way to have your cables, at all!

    Shocked

    Default Re: Not much idea why I'm not dead!

    Yikes, glad you're ok!

    The reason it only shocked you and didn't kill you is to do with voltage, current and electrical resistance (of the path through your body to the ground). It's current that kills, and changes in such a way that if your resistance is high, eg you're wearing rubber shoes, dry hands, the current that can pass through you to the ground is lower. If you are barefoot and wet a lot more current could go through you and be fatal (hence never touch anything electrical with wet hands!).

    Also if only one hand brushed it, the current goes straight down and avoids crossing your heart, so less chance of heart attack, I believe.

    Here's some numbers

    And yeah, tell him to get that things sorted out!
