I would not be happy to agree with this statment
Electric shock victims suffer burns not brusing
Most people who are shock victims survive because of muscle
retraction,

Muscles contract. If there are two muscles working in opposition the
stronger one wins so for example your hand will grip rather than
opening. If you touch something live with the back of your hand and you'll
be thrown off: if you grab hold of it you won't be able to let go. If you
get a shock you can quite easily hit or kick something, including
yourself, or throw yourself against the nearest hard object.

Not necessarily so, the bad one I got once wouldn't let me move
ANYTHING, fortunately someone who was with me saw what was happening and
twigged on very quickly as a similar thing had happened to him once but
now quite the same path!....
