What to do to the victim at the time of electric shock?
Hello! What should the injured person do if he is exposed to electric current? Suppose he grabbed a bare wire with his hand, the arm muscles atrophied and could not let go of the wire, while there was no help nearby. I will be very glad of your professional advice, as the answer is quite important. Thank!

Hello! Well, the concept of "atrophied" here is not quite. Let's start with the basic safety rules - you can not touch exposed live parts until you have determined whether there is voltage on them! Further, if there is no complete certainty that there is no voltage - if you touch the wires with your hands, then with the back of your hand.
If it happened so that the wire was taken into your hand, you were shocked, the muscles tensed, and the hand clenched. Note that with alternating current, the muscles do not tighten uninterruptedly, but as if pulsating - you need to try to tear your arm out with your whole body, literally fall in the opposite direction.
