[QUOTE="Robint, post: 555331, member: 37920"] Another strange place I got zapped was an old tall garden wall. I was wearing flip flops at the time and leant against the wall to steady my self and go a distinct tingle. Sure enough above was an old metal cased garden light. I was young but electrically savvy then so I told the owner. Begs the question here - how do you protect yourself (legally today). Say you are now adult and legally defined as a Competent Person and you are visitng a house on a social event. You find this unexpected live wall, so you go and tell the owner (who is having a good time and not interested) What would you do? a) walk away, not say anything - easiest but could you live with it with a fatal accident? b) tell the owner (but quietly video the matter) c) Msg the owner asap with warning (anonymously ?) d) Go full on protection, chairs/ tape around area with "Live keep away" e) Switch off Garden lights What would you do?
