A lack of grounding would preclude the conduction of electricity. As this is HV, a small spark gap would not have helped remarkably.
- thfuran 7y agoElectrocution is literally a fatal electric shock.
- logfromblammo 7y agoPortmanteau of electric execution. Strangely enough, not used by Edison in the Current War against Tesla/Westinghouse. He made up words with mort that everyone has since forgotten. For nonlethal electrical mishap, just "shock" is fine, and "electric shock" to disambiguate when there may be confusion with emotional shock from excessive surprise or physiological shock from a traumatic injury.
