Last year I began a series of questions regarding electric shock.

I originally began on August 7, 2011 with the question: [url='http://arcflashforum.com/threads/1807/#post-8752']Have you ever experienced an electric shock?[/url] I was "shocked" to find that 100 percent of the respondents said YES.

On September 18, 2011 I asked [url='http://arcflashforum.com/threads/1851/#post-9005']how many times have you been shocked?[/url] 58 percent of you said "more times than I can remember"

On September 25, 2011, I asked another follow up question: [url='http://arcflashforum.com/threads/1860/']What is the highest voltage that you have been shocked by?[/url]

So here is this week's question:

How long ago was your last electric shock?
  • Today - just one of those days!
  • This month
  • This year
  • 1 to 5 years
  • Over 5 years ago

Last time I was shocked by household voltage I was probably in high school. I have been shocked several times since then when attempting to diagnose a misfiring auto engine by lifting plug wires one at a time. I don't do that either anymore (electronic ignitions took all the fun out).
