[AMPS] Re: Electrical discharge through the heart (was Resoldering 3-500Z pins)

If one's heart has stopped, the person has gone into cardiac arrest.  I think
most people who go into cardiac arrest are unconscious.  Therefore they are
unable to turn off their HV supply and shock themselves.

So this whole thing is a ludicrous and non-sensical senario after all
regardless of what positive effect and HV discharge might have!

Well said Jon.  I especially concur that Rich's scenario is nonsensical.

I have this mental picture of a ham with his hands clutching his chest
looking in vain for a screwdriver to take the cover off his amp.........very
bad picture.
