Not as spectacular as the other stories here, my experience was with a Tascam
data recorder - working on the front panel, (and, in retrospect, without due care and attention) I discovered that just because the circuitry is miniaturized and all the interconnects are ribbon cables does NOT guarantee some daft designer at Tascam hasn't decided to sneak AC mains in amongst the signal wiring.

Haven't read all the posts yet, but...Way back in high school ('bout 65-66),
I was working on a TV set in electronics shop. I was in the back room, by myself, and had just turned it off. I was following all safety procedures, one hand to my side, other hand on the insulated screwdriver, prying off the 25Kv lead to the picture tube. Well we didn't know that the "decorative" metal railing of the work bench was grounded. My hand slipped off of the insulation onto the metal shaft off the screwdriver and I was leaning against the workbench. Next thing I remember was that I was flat on my back, with my head in the doorway, six feet from workbench. All the class were gathered around the teacher who said "My God! He's alive!" Turns out, they had heard the discharge (through me), and I had been out for at least 3-5 minutes. So I guess you could say I survived a "fatal" shock. Years later, in the phone company, while reaching through some equipment to get a wire being passed to me, my forehead touch the +400V and my wrist touched a -400V of a telegraph (yes, telegraph) circuit. Didn't knock me out but it sure stung..... Eric KA6USJ |

The closest death by electrocution I've suffered was in the mid 1980's. Our disposal protocol required us to let air into CRTs. For some reason, I powered up the monitor before I disposed of it. I unplugged it, took the back off, donned my leather gloves, grabbed my uninsulated pliers and, with one hand on the steel case, snipped the nipple off of the 25" CRT.

Paul, are you asking if anyone has been killed, then revived? If anyone has made that journey, I'd be curious to know if your experience was similar to people who have survived a "fatal" drowning (great peace, white light, etc.). EI |

What I *am* actually get at is that theoretical physicists are coming around to the rather extraordinary view that one cannot from one's own perspective be killed by any sudden and dramatic life event.

In the one you've left, observers will see your cold, dead, smoking body lying sparko on the ground. Your relatives will grieve, your obituary will be written. But *you* won't know anything of that.
