RE: Fan Death - A Curious Superstition

in #psychology7 years ago

Yes in fact fans probably do save lives.

The only case of fan death I can recall was the girl in my neighborhood who touched a fan when the electricity was absent.

Wow I had another person reporting the same thing with someone being electrocuted by a fan. That is quite worrying. I wonder how common this is.

Sort:  

Sudden surge of electric current coupled with poor saftey measures does kill people. It's quite common.

I'm assuming there is no earthing in those cases because that is the main eventuality that it protects against.

The problem is with earthing and the overall saftey measures are weak as well.
