Question
When a person is shocked with a strong enough current, the muscles
can involuntarily contract rendering...
When a person is shocked with a strong enough current, the muscles
can involuntarily contract rendering the victim unable to let go or
move away. What is a good way to help a person who has accidently
grabbed a wire with a high current?
Don’t touch someone who has been shocked if they’re still in
contact with the source of electricity.
Don’t move someone who has been shocked, unless they’re in
danger of further shock.
Turn off the flow of electricity if possible. If you can’t,
move the source of electricity away from the person using a
non-conducting object. Wood and rubber are both good options. Just
make sure you don’t use anything that’s wet or metal based.
Stay at least 20 feet away if they’ve been shocked by
high-voltage power lines that are still on.
