In a country of 250+million a dozen is not a large number, nor would a
thousand. Often the deaths are unnecessary and from foolish lack of care.

A electic shock if you follow safety advice is unlikely to be deadly but
due to the possibility care MUST allways be taken. I've been hit by some
heavy power supplies over the years and though unpleasent (it HURTS!!!)
the basic care I took kept me from far worse.
