Re: Brazil - Man Dies from Electric Shock when Charging Mobile Phone in His Car
I got shocked once in my car when i used a Car plug-in type 220 inverter to charge my laptop. There was a nationwide power out and i need to use my laptop. so i borrowed an inverter, plugged it to the Car DC socket. i was barefoot and in the damp concrete when i held the laptop to check the charge. it was quite painful. good thing the laptop was placed in a stool outside and i fell away from the car. i would never use a 12vdc to 220vac inverter again.

Re: Brazil - Man Dies from Electric Shock when Charging Mobile Phone in His Car
Definitely the body of the car was grounded to something. I just can't see a car battery doing that to anyone, I mean direct current is dangerous but 12 volts and the vehicle is the ground point anyways. I dunno those real specific things that would have work out just right and let's face it, more people would be dead if shit like this happened from a car battery, my vote is on an extension cord shorted on the body of the car and his feet in that puddle, also the shorts seemingly doing it's own last breath if you look close you can see his arm move where he's most likely pulling on them with his right hand

You actually don't need that much, many people disregard the power of phone chargers (100-200 milliamps can be lethal!) The guy was well grounded by standing on water (The irony!) and that was the culprit that a low amperage could have killed him. |

Re: Brazil - Man Dies from Electric Shock when Charging Mobile Phone in His Car
I figured it must be some kind of static electricity surge or something, like when your hair gets attracted to a balloon. But everybody else seems to think it would have to be his leg or his dick moving, so I don't know. I thought it was really weird too, probably the most interesting part of this poor soul's death. |

Re: Brazil - Man Dies from Electric Shock when Charging Mobile Phone in His Car
For sure! Look at the wire at the rear wheel. No way is a car battery going to do that let alone a cell phone charger. Ever!
