No ripov, I'm in England.

JiK - we worked on a very simple view: it's the volts that jolts but the mils that kills. (Mils are milliamps). I've had UK mains (240 volts) from one hand to the other more than once, straight across the chest, and it was no fun at all, and I have no plan to repeat it, but it didn't kill me. My worst was a metal bodied electric drill - the insulated part of the handle had dropped off, which I did not notice while working, and I picked it up in my right hand. I was standing in ordinary shoes on a concrete floor in a garage - but the metal case was earthed so the path of least resistance was through my hand not down to my feet. Hand locked on to the handle! It took several tries to throw the drill out of my hand, and the cooked bit of hand took months to recover.
