When I was a kid it was drummed into me that I should never switch anything on or off with wet hands. Water and electricity didn't mix. In the UK no socket is allowed within 3 metres of a bath or shower, using an extension lead defeats the object.

Likewise, also from the UK, and I am teaching my kid the same. I never take my phone into the bathroom when having a shower, I leave it in my bedroom and take a bluetooth speaker in instead ;) The music sounds better that way too.

Per report: "she plugged her cell phone into an extension cord, which was plugged into a non-GFCI, non-grounded bathroom wall outlet.". A GFCI outlet senses if the current is drawn from the outlet that is passing through unwanted electrical paths, like through plumbing and such and would shut down the power quickly. This would also save girl's life. It is funny in my apartment, one bathroom has GFCI outlet and the other one doesn't! It is one of the essential things to have in a bathroom.

I never realized that European (German?) plugs are safe by design. The sockets go a few cm into the wall and the plugs exactly fit into them. So when the plug makes contact with the socket, it already covers the sunk socket with itself and you can't touch the contacts because the plug is in the way. Genius.

You're great for making these videos. It amazes me sometimes how little knowledge most people have on how dangerous and potentially deadly electricity can be. It's easy to take it for granted because it's just everywhere and for the most part no one has to deal with it. But rare circumstances arise like this girl's case. If school teachers didn't go around teaching students dumb shit like "volts jolt current kills" and actually taught legitimate electrical safety then things like this would be even more rare than they already are. And they do get more and more rare as the years go by. Which is great but tragedies do still happen and only by taking proactive steps (like pushing the U.S. to change outlet styles. Thanks for that we really need it to happen) can we prevent them completely.

UK and EU plugs had better contain more safety features because the AC voltage at wall outlets is double that of USA and Canada. It's pretty hard to seriously hurt yourself with 120 VAC. You have to really be wet with a good path to ground that travels through your chest (heart). Double the voltage and the risk increases dramatically.

I'm shocked at how unsafe US plugs are. But not literally shocked, because EU plugs have insulation.

Pretty sure NEC updated to require everything be GFCI or Arc Fault Protected (don't have my code book next to me but it's in there.) Out here in Vegas however they've (building departments) been allowing people to replace with whatever it was built with, at least at the electrical panel. If the home was built with regular breakers you can replace with regular breaker. Also depending if she's getting electrocuted through ground or not, depends if a GFCI would even trip. If the tub isn't grounded and she were using one of those shitty old piece of crap cords with no ground it's entirely possible the GFCI wouldn't have even tripped. Maybe I'm wrong on how GFCI's and even arc faults work but they trip when the current leaving isn't the same as the current being returned on the neutral. If you're getting shocked through neutral instead of ground, it probably wouldn't even cause the GFCI to trip.

If you look at it frame by frame, you see that both leads actually spark when they touched each of his hands, meaning that current definitely did pass through his heart. However it was only for a fraction of a second as the two leads then touched each other and his wires disconnected. Additionally, the sparklers probably provided some resistance and so he may no have gotten the full 2 amps across his chest. Either way, it would have killed him if he held onto for any longer, and he is really lucky.

So remember to first touch the wires with your hands, to get a feeling if your multimeter can handle the voltage.

Worth noting, rice is not a good desiccant to use. It's best to let it air dry if you don't have any better desiccants (such as those silica gel packs). Rice can actually damage the phone further, I know firsthand. Everything else it correct though. Turn off your phone IMMEDIATELY, shake water out, and take the battery out if possible. And do not turn the phone back on until all the water is gone. If you're not sure, best to leave it.

I'd love to see a video where you compare different plugs from around the world! I am glad I am fortunate in the UK to have such a reliably overengineered standard.

That's why in Europe it's mandatory to have GFCI protection at the breaker panel (for the whole house), and sometimes a separate, high sensitivity (10mA) GFCI for the bathroom.

There is very high probability that GFCI would help, especially alongside exposed earth wiring like in Schuko sockets; but it's not certain - after all, if the current happens to return via neutral wire rather than via a stray pipe or ground contact, it won't trip. When it trips, it does so within perhaps 20ms, but rarely in less than 10ms, but that too can sometimes already be lethal.

@JoeyRodz74

7 жыл бұрын

I agree and that's why I said it "might have" saved the girl's life. You don't get electrocuted if current just flow through one hand. From the report, it looks like she grabbed the frayed extension cord and while being wet/barefoot, the circuit was made through her body - from her hand to her feet. A GFCI outlet/breaker would have caught that because more than a few mA flowed to ground instead of through neutral/return.

Yes you can but not in the bathroom Who plugs a microwave in their bathroom?

As mentioned previously, UK 13Amp plugs have sleeved line and neutral pins that enter the socket before the pins are connected to the supply. Also, the earth pin connects first (except some cheap foreign knockoffs which sleeve the earth pin as well, whichsort of defeats the object). Great channel BTW

Putting your phone in rice can cause small bits of rice to become lodged in it, so putting it in a bag with some silica gel beads would be better.

Applying gentle heat and air flow will do a much better job of drying. Since when did you put your wet clothes in some rice to dry them out? You'd just get wet rice and wet clothes. The water that will damage a phone in the long run will be lodged in the device, well beyond the reach of some rice

Death guy..

I saw a video from another KZreadr a few months ago. He likes to dismantle defective or dangerous devices and check them for safety. He showed that some power supplies in the circuit have a very small gap between 230 volts and 5 volts. This distance can be dangerous if the adapter is operated in a humid environment.

I can’t even make it a minute into one of your videos without laughing ur funny asf

Thanks the the PSA Mehdi. I'm amazed that in the US with people so ready to sue each other, that safer plugs are not mandatory. The UK have safety plugs like you demonstrated where the live and neutral are partly sheathed. Unfortunately some foreign imports don't implement the regulations correctly and sheath the earth pin too. So when the plug is pushed into the socket the earth pin is actually disconnected from the socket, as the earth connection is located at the front of the socket, so as to earth the device before the power is connected.

We mandate safer GFCI outlets in wet areas because that covers unsafe plugs as well as safe ones. I like the belt and suspenders approach of also sleeving the live and neutral with an extended ground plug that contacts ground before any other connection is made.

Same. We were working on our power supplies in EE class. I wanted to check how my neighbour wired up the switch, so I pulled some wires aside to get a closer look at the connections. Brzzzz. I just didn't assume that someone would leave a 230V device unattended when it's still connected to the mains WHILE THE CASE IS OPEN. Fortunately we had circuit breakers on every work bench. That was an "exciting" experience. Also, it kicked out the circuit breaker of the whole room and everyone in class was stunned by the situation for a moment.

Thanks Detective

5:23 who is shocked???

@5:45 electrocution by plug only happens in bad plug standard countries like USA & Canada impossible in Germany / Korea , France / Poland etc. due to recessed socket ... in UK the isolated pind do the same protection Sadly the IEC made the USA junk standard to standard for 100 to 120 V countries While for 200 to 240 V countries the IEC has reasonable standard similar to new plugs of Brazil & Switzerland

The electrical safety in the US isn't great. It's not terrible, but it's not great. The upside is that if you do get a shock, it's not as bad (still can easily kill you though) as in 220V+ countries. Still though, we really should make the design better.

There are also a lot of sketchy usb adapters out there that aren't sufficiently isolated from the mains.

3:09 i love this channel, but the rice thing is actually harmful, so to anyone that sees this comment please dont dry your phone in rice. You can look it up for yourself if you dont believe me, but there are studies that show its actually slightly worse, (so you'd be better to not do it). and also probably should mention that salty water is especially bad for your phone's inner electronics and also should mention that charging your phone while water might be inside it is also bad, especially when its salty water this being said its not the topic of the video if the phone is safe so its not that big of a deal, and he probably knew this but didn't feel like needed to share

when i first heard this story on the news i thought. there was no way that happened.

Watched this with my phone in the tub and got so afraid that I dropped it and died. But Lord Electron resurrected me because i forgot to like the video. #truestory

In Italy, plug contacts are 3/4 completely isolated and only 1/4 of the contacts are exposed, so when you unplug it, they are exposed only when is safe to touch it.

Ok just realized the true danger of dropping a toster in the tub. The tost might get soggy.

Mehdi, have you ever seen the Brazilian plug standard? not only is the wall outlet recessed into the wall, the plug has the plastic sleeve on 2/3s of it's there lugs. While the introduction of the standard was surrounded by talks of big industry trying to cash in via a deal with the government, I still think it's a smarter and safer design than the US standard, and with a lower profile than the European standard.

It's similar to what they use in Italy and Switzerland. Seems to be derived from Europlug, that we use for our low-current, double insulated devices across most of Europe, which was designed to fit a dozen of different national sockets with various pin distances, and some having the recess and some not having it. Because it doesn't need to actually account for different sockets but may need to be used for higher current, your variant uses thicker pins and removes the polymer spring and converging geometry elements of the Europlug design. Europlug doesn't offer the electrical safety of having a ground, but it has excessive mechanical safety, with two mechanisms which would not be needed together, but may not be present individually: the sheathing on pins is designed to protect you when you use non-recessed sockets of some countries, while the Europlug sockets are recessed to prevent people from forcing a plug into them that doesn't have sheathing, or a plug of a device that needs to be grounded for safety into an ungrounded extension. Why Brazil went for both, i frankly can't see: a recessed socket doesn't need sheathed pins.

there's one thing you didn't mention, the outlet by the sink must be and should have been GFCI protected, had it been maybe this would not have happened

Hey, rice works good and all, but if you really want something to "suck" the water out of your phone, you should try to find a local source of desiccant. Salt, Lye, Calcium chloride, and many other such chemicals can absorb water from the air and within materials, allowing things to dry faster. It would also help if you could increase the surface area exposed near the dessicant. You dont have to put the phone IN the dessicant, just put it close. If you could get a bowl full and put the phone on top of the pile, ir hang it above.
