I'll never forget my friend who was doing a job buffing floors in a school at night and knocked a big container of wax over which then flooded the floor and started to shock him due to a deep cut in the cord. I couldn't get near him and had to knock the plug outta the wall socket with a nearby broom handle. I couldn't believe he made it through that without thinking or talking like Forrest Gump afterwards. After all it was a really old 10 amp floor buffer and it only takes a half an amp to kill a human. I guess sometimes the human body is tougher than we give it credit. Glad to hear you recovered from this situation.

Man I'm so glad you're alive!
What a true series of unfortunate events. That's a story you couldn't make up if you tried. Definitely get checked out. Head trauma and lowered levels of conscience can also indicate increased cranial pressure which can be very severe.
Now on the lighter side, I envisioned a very comical series of events that might have led up to that ladder giving out. In the field across the street from your house there were some kids playing baseball. One kid hit a homerun so high then it hit a bird flying by. The impact of the ball hitting the bird cause feathers to fly off the bird. One of those feathers flew through the sky across the street and started falling towards your house. As one of your kids was leaving the house to go play with the other kids in the field that feather flew right into the open door and landed on one of your children's marbles. The very light feather weighed just enough to cause that marble to roll across the floor into a wobbly bookshelf with just enough Force to cause a book to fall over. The sound of that book falling over cause your cat to freak out and go running across the room which scared the dog causing him to run right into your ladder. LOL all joking aside I'm glad you're alive man

Get GFCI outlets or at least a power strip with a ground fault. You shouldn't be able to electrocute yourself from a tank spill.
ElectrocuteIf you were "electrocuted" you would be dead. The word means you were killed (or at least SERIOUSLY injured...i.e. hospitalized)
You were shocked.

Do we really need be grammar police here? A fellow reefer shared a tragic accident that he was fortunate enough to live through and share his story all while having a great attitude about it. Can we just leave it at that?If you were "electrocuted" you would be dead. The word means you were killed (or at least SERIOUSLY injured...i.e. hospitalized)

hey sometimes life gotta be a jerk; what really matters is how we take it, and handle it from our perspective. maybe get some thicker glass
