yea im fine now thanks... it was not too bad but it was something i don't want to try EVER again.
Have you been to the doctors yet? You should find out how this could/might have effected you. You might be fine now but who knows something could have happened internally and it might be too late when you find out.
You should really take your mum's advise and talk to OHS. As I mentioned earlier "Work Compo" as an employee you should never be in ANY danger. NEVER!

When I was in high school, Physics classes dealt with laws of inertia, centifugal force, gravity, etc.
Maybe those remembering high school physics should stick to why things fall back down when thrown in the air.
Ohm's, Kirchoff's, and other laws and theorys of electricity were dealt with in an Electrical class.
Bad, uninformed advice, now matter how well intentioned, can get folks hurt or killed in some cases.
Glad you are doing o.k. Rare_Cichlids, but the effects can be long lasting, and subtle.
After being hit with 480 ten years ago, I still have some numbness in my left forearm and ring and pinky fingers of the left hand.

Yeah the voltage isnt whats gunna get you. I work as a Refrigeration and air conditionin technician, and have been shocked by everything from 24v, 120v, 220v, 460v. 460v will knock you on yer arse. The amps is what you have to watch out for. Electricity travels the path of least resistance. but you have to get that .25 milliamps across your heart to kill ya. I have a buddy who got shocked 3 times in a row one time while workin on a furnace that had two power sources coming from different breakers. It messed with his whole heart system so bad he was having chest pains a couple hours later, ended up going to the emergency room and found out it have messed with the rythym of his heart beat, and that if if had waited any longer to go to the hospital he would have died.
ive gotten small shocks myself. i have a 300 gallon stock tank for my alligator snapping turtle and i was doing some cleaning and had my hand arm under the water. took me a second to realize my arm was tingely. i stepped back and was confused so since it didnt hurt stuck my hand in and for sure felt the current. turns out my glass heater had exploded. and just last week i stuck my hand in the tank only to feel that same electric current going through my arm. took me a while to figure out that this time my ally had bitten the cord of the heater and had exposed the wire. another heater in the garbage! besides that i have been shocked just because i was dumb and had wet hands while turning off a light switch. DOH!
