Grounding
Electricity is always trying to get to the ground.
If something gives it an easy path to the ground, it will take it.
So if you touch an electric circuit and the electricity will flow through you!

Electrical Injury
You can never tell when contact with electricity will be fatal, but it will always hurt.
Electric shock can cause muscle spasms, weakness, shallow breathing, rapid pulse, severe burns, unconsciousness, or possibly death.
