Well, I'm glad a few of you have similar stories about the Greatest Generation, I figured no one would believe me.
I have been zapped many times on cars and a few times on 120-volt home circuits, but the worst one was in a junky machine shop where the bridge crane and a plugged-in cut off saw. The crane and saw had the 440 3 phase wired different, had a hand on both of them when I got hit.
Knocked the wind out of me and I landed on my back gasping. It burnt a small hole in each hand where the bone was closest to the metal.
Thinking back, I was real lucky and quit that job the next morning but still ached in my arms and chest for a couple weeks.
