My initial thoughts were along those lines too, but thinking some more,
if you drop something live into the earthed bath your immediate reaction
may well be to remove it. You pick it up and bingo, all the current
flow is now through your arms and torso to the bath.

I imagine your muscles would spasm and you'd drop/throw it, but it's not
inconceivable that you could get tangled somehow.



The information I picked up from somewhere-or-other is that your muscles
do spasm, so you cannot let go!
