This ☠xmas tree decoration was just a wire interspersed with lamp bulbs, plugged into a 220v outlet. When I was a kid ours broke, so I opened it up. 2 metal bits that held a bulb were bent, so I tried to bend them back, forgetting to unplug the thing. I grabbed both, 1 hand each, & completed the circuit with my body.
After a few moments of a feeling I will never forget, a breaker blew. I got away with a scare & cinged fingertips. If it lasted a bit longer I probably wouldn't be here today. 🤷
