Right, so assuming everyone's got dry hands, or comparably dry hands, then you'd expect to see lower fatality rates in the USA (and other countries that use ~110V) compared to countries that use 230-240V. Does that hypothesis actually align with the data? I'm struggling to find good figures that spell this out on a region by region basis. The data are often muddied, f.e. by including lightning strikes, ladders or trucks hitting overhead high-voltage power lines, self-harm / suicide attempts, etc. For example, some Australian data for a 2-year period [1] > 55 deaths involving electrical injury - 50 male, 5 female > 8 were lightning strikes > 17 were intentional self-harm > 18 were were due to exposure to other specified electric current Either way that's about 26 / year out of a population of ~25M ~= 1 per million. In the USA I'm finding: > Electrocution is the fifth leading cause of occupational injury death > 41% of cases involved overhead power lines Alternatively [3] for USA: > Electrocution is sixth among causes of workplace deaths > Electrical hazards cause more than 300 deaths 300 out of a population of ~330M ~= 1 per million [1] https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/injury/electrical-injuries-deaths-hospitalisations-14-16/contents/summary https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/injury/electrical-injuries-d...
