Electrocution

The passage of electrical current through the body can cause cardiac arrest, burning, and shock. Many injuries result from faulty switches, frayed cables or defects in electrical appliances. Whatever the cause of an electrical accident, never touch the casualty with bare hands unless you are sure there is no danger to yourself.
