Coming into contact with one is extremely dangerous because electricity can arc through the air, meaning you don’t even have to fully touch the wire to be electrocuted. Direct contact usually causes massive burns, cardiac arrest, and immediate muscle paralysis, and survival is extremely rare—most direct high-voltage contacts are fatal or result in life-altering injuries.

How revolting. That looked terminal to me. He had the right contacts i'm positive but no one ampered him. He wanted to go ohm.
Somewhere down the line a light flickered and it wasn't noticed.
