wdym? if one touches the live and they're grounded, they're fucked aren't they?
They're not grounded when they're standing in the pool, though. If they grabbed a ladder or if someone on the ground tried to hand them something, they'd get a good shock, but they'd trip a breaker before anything deadly happened
Their breakers are probably wired in place because they keep tripping too often.
Tripping the breaker usually doesn't trip the switch, so that wouldn't actually change anything. Not that I recommend trying.
Imma need you guys to demonstrate with a toaster.
I don't know why you're doubting me, but the only reason why "toaster + bathtub" means death is because your body is in contact with the bathtub, which is grounded. Regardless, you still wouldn't die unless you had preexisting health conditions like a weak heart on account of the aforementioned breakers
An above ground pool like the one in the picture insulates you with a very thick floor of rubber. Here's an article about exactly what I'm talking about
How a backyard swimming pool can become an electrical death trap
Excerpt:
That's shocking
Only if you're grounded 😉
Are you telling me reruns of mystery shows from the 70s lied to me? COLUMBO LIED TO ME?!
Wait- what about hair dryers?
Wait so you would die, or you wouldn't die? I'm getting mixed messages.
You are one wrong object touch away from possibly dying
aren't we all one wrong object touch away from possibly dying anyways?
Oh nobody is more surprised than I am that I'm still alive.
So , it looks like an inflatable pool - no metal structure nor ladder. Perfectly safe
… not that I’d want to test that
Someone needs to learn about acrylic and fiberglass tubs🤪
