• The powerful stimulation of muscles by shock produces sudden, uncontrolled, and forceful body movements which can cause you to hit yourself, hit someone else, throw any objects which may be in your hand, or fall down and hit your head. It can also cause your grip to latch on the wire which is delivering the shock. This means you can't let go of the wire. If someone is unfortunate enough to get into this situation, either a bystander will have to shut of the power or try to use a non-metallic object (like a broom handle) to knock the person's hand off the wire. The strength and speed of the muscle action is almost superhuman. It is also uniquely painful. | • The powerful stimulation of muscles by shock produces sudden, uncontrolled, and forceful body movements which can cause you to hit yourself, hit someone else, throw any objects which may be in your hand, or fall down and hit your head.
