Many have had a 'belt' from domestic 240Volt wiring
through bad luck, bad judgment or plain stupidity .

Whilst a shock from 240V CAN kill how often does that actually happen

Not very often at all, essentially because you really
need the current to go from one hand across the
chest to the other to kill you most of the time.

and how many just get thrown across the room into a foetal position

Never.

whimpering and crying until the arm unknots

Never knots.

and the tingling feeling goes away.
