I'd have to imagine that the mortality rate in deaths due to
electrocution has got to be a lot higher too. Who hasn't seen a kid
stick something into a wall outlet?

I heard of a DIYer that was receiving instructions over the phone and was
electrocuted when he was told to screw the..............electrical outlet.
Obiviously, either the reception on his Vontage phone service wasn't all
that good or the instructor had his mouth full of hamburger. The rest is
history.
