He was asking about rates on electrocution. Not asking how electrocution compares to car wrecks. The latest source that I could find said that 400 people died

He was asking about rates on electrocution. Not asking how electrocution compares to car wrecks.
The latest source that I could find said that 400 people died of electrocution in 200, down from 670 in 1990.
I wasn't able to find any information on the UK. However, being from the US, I'd probably bet your wiring over there is safer.

- points 16y agoI've also experienced UK drivers vs US drivers.... God I feel much safer here ;)
