Electrical injuries are a very serious but fortunately uncommon occurrence. In adults, injuries are usually work-related. In children, injuries often result from household accidents. An average of 500-1000 resultant deaths occur per year in the United States, with a mortality rate of 3%-15%. The severity of injury is determined by the voltage, current strength, resistance to flow, duration of contact, pathway of flow, and type of current.

Damn that is low???

[Nihlistpunk]

Trust me thats not low. Im an electrician and ive been shocked plenty with 110 volts and once with 220 volts i got lucky with all the times ive been shocked however no scars and not skin damage occurred at all. So unless a retard held on for awhile these are from 3 phase 220 volts and up and they are just an explosion rather than a shock electricity is insane dont fuck with it people

I'm training to be a surgeon and I will tell you from the electrical burn cases I have seen in the operating room, whatever you see on the outside, it looks MUCH worse on the inside. In that ninth picture with the dead finger and the burn on the forearm, if you opened that up you'd probably see a nice track of black, necrotic, fried muscle, tendon, and nerves connecting the two. One is certainly an entrance wound and the other an exit wound where the current left through the skin. In the OR we use electricity to burn vessels and stop bleeding because it just cooks and melts things into a solid block. Electricity can really jack things up inside.
