From another Thread, Jimbo said the above. I know DC Voltage can come get you, but I'm wondering about something.They used to say that stuff will "come and get you" if you mess up.
I recently got shocked unhooking Coax from a Receiver at my Repeater site for Ham Radio. The Receiver has a small pig tail that the Coax plugs into. I had one piece in each hand and as soon as the two came part, I got nailed. It felt like 115 AC. Another time, I got nailed from our Pump hoist which is a Diesel with two 12 volt batteries, I was hooking up jumper cables to try out a new Electro Magnet we had built to check casing depth in a well. Same thing, I got nailed from a 12 volt battery. I have never before gotten nailed by 12 Volts DC and some say I'm crazy, but trust me, I felt the shock.
Has anyone got any experience with this sort of thing or can you share your experiences with weird occurrences like these?
