Just remember, kids:

Try not to complete a circuit from one hand to the other (I.E. up one arm, across the chest, and down the other). That can kill you.

It takes a surprisingly small electric charge through your heart to cause arrythmia or stop it altogether. Pacemakers, for instance, run on teeny watch-style batteries, which are enough to shock the heart into a regular beating cadence.

Finally, that CPR/First Aid/medic training comes in handy! biggrin

At least once a month I forget to ground something when I'm welding and get a nice little pop, then about once a year I do something really stupid and shock the ever living shit out of myself. Its a fun life I live...
