I have a friend who was being stupid ... something about using a microwave oven transformer to carve images into wood ... I don't really know the details, but as she was preparing things based on something she saw online, she had either one or two hands on the transformer leads (I don't know if it was one or two hands, and she currently has no memory of the incident) when someone else plugged the microwave into the wall outlet, electrocuting her.
She had to be resuscitated three different times, spent a couple of days in ICU, and is at home now recovering from the incident.
My question is, would she have gotten zapped as badly had the socket that the moron plugged the microwave into been a GFI outlet?
