ground. Don't get in the way. Electricity could go
through you to get there!

current
can burn the skin, nerves, muscles and tissues in the
body.
- Electrical shock - when electrical current passes
through the body.
- Death - A severe shock can cause problems with a
person's breathing and heartbeat, possibly leading
to death.
