The electrocution thread came up and asked, what is the reason why touching high-voltage wires is more unsuccessful in our country than expected?

I'm sorry I don't have any knowledge about electrocution. In my country, if you touch a regular telephone pole, you get electrocuted, you get thrown off, and you get burned, but you almost never die. Usually, 50% of people die. Is it normal for people to get thrown off when they touch it? Our country uses 220v. Will high-voltage wires like high-speed trains be successful? I know of a regular train transmission tower. Will it be successful if I touch it? I also want to electrocute myself in a bathroom, but I don't have the knowledge. In my country, as a suicide prevention measure, you don't die even if you drop a charger or hair dryer in the bathroom. In the past, many people died.

I don't know about your electricity where you are located, so I won't comment on that. As far as hair dryers or other electrical items being thrown into a bathtub, that really won't work anymore with the modern electric system. The breakers will detect it and trip themselves off in a micro-second, thereby shutting off the flow of electricity.

If you don't mind talking about semantics – if a person did not die that means he was not electrocuted, just got an electric shock.
