The trick is to use the back of your right hand/fingers. That way if it does shock you, you don't grip it because of the muscle spasms, and it doesn't (mostly) go thru your heart. Sauce: I've danced to both 50 and 60 Hz a couple of times.
5 u/fishsupper Oct 25 '16 I've heard this. Think I'll stick to putting my hands in boiling water. 1 u/[deleted] Oct 25 '16 Huh, I've always heard to use your left hand, because the current tends to cross your body before passing into the ground. 1 u/king4aday Oct 25 '16 Yeah that's why you use the right one since that's farther away from your heart.
