[AMPS] Hand in the pocket?

[ToddRoberts2001@aol.com]

Carl, I think the main reason to keep one hand in a pocket while working 
around high voltage is to avoid an electrical path from both arms through the 
heart, as well as limiting the ways one can get shocked. If one hand is 
grounded and the other hand touches high voltage then the path through the 
body goes right through the heart muscle increasing the risk of heart 
failure. If the current went through one hand to ground through your leg at 
least it wouldn't go through your heart muscle increasing your chances of 
survival.
