I got hit by 220 working on a mig welder..... That stuff hurts like a *****,

Ive lost count how many times I've been hit by 110, and there was a near mis when I was working on a 440 outlet and my sister flipped on the breaker... if it had not of turned the lights on I don't even want to know how bad it would of hurt....


But really its not that bad... you get used to it.
 
well i've had a few aquarium related zaps, a couple times heaters malfunctioned and i got a small shock but nothing major.

the worst i've had was working w/ a timer on sw tank and was messin around at the store tryn 2 get it all figured out. well my hands were a little wet and apparently the cord had gotten wet, went to plug in the halide light and got me good. to make matters worse i was standing at the top of a 6 foot ladder, things coulda been bad haha
 
I get a shock every now and then when I place my hand in my salt tank to feed my shark and its very annoying.
 
I was fishing for electric eels in the Amazon jungle.It's along story and I will make it short.It was raining and I was all wet when I caught my first electric eel.I could feel the electric jolts coming up the line and I had a metal fishing rod so the jolts was still hitting me as I was bringing in the 7 foot electric eel out of the stream he was in.That was no fun during that part.

I was setting up a lighting display at a hardware store and i was up about 6 feet off the ground. I started to lose my balance, and just by instinct grabbed the wrong thing.... the mounting and the wires. I got a good shock and I had to fight to keep from falling over right off the shelf. I got zapped later on that day taking down someone elses work because they didn't properly ground the light fixture and wiring:irked: if it were in a house, i could've flipped off the breaker and it wouldn't have been live wires. but in this big box store, they claimed they couldn't shut off the power supply to the display bays:irked:
 
been zapped a couple of times by faulty heaters over the years- very funny tingling sensation up to my elbows
 
I was hit bad by an electric paint sprayer while working in a grain equity. The sprayer was mounted on a hand truck and shorted out, sending current into the handtruck frame. I had one hand on the sprayer and the other on a steel railing. The shock had me stuck and I couldn't let go of either one to break the current. A quick acting co-worker bailed me out by kicking the sprayer away from me.

I never got shocked by an aquarium heater but I did burn one up by removing it while it was still connected to the power.
