You are playing in your friend's house, when he gets stuck with a naked electric wire. You would :

  • A.hold him by the arms and try to set him free.
  • B.hold the wire and pull it away.
  • C.pull off the wire with a wooden stick.
  • D.send for the doctor.

Answer: C

Correct answer: pull off the wire with a wooden stick.

Touching him or the wire would put the current through you as well, leaving two casualties instead of one. Wood does not conduct, so pushing the wire away with a wooden stick breaks the contact safely - and it must be broken before anything else can be done for him.
