Personally I've known 1 person die (heart attack), 2 people receive severe electrical burns from high voltage electricity and I've been sent to the hospital after a shock myself. I'd venture a guess a day like today isn't as impactful to some office staff who don't deal with these hazards (not pointing a finger at you, just a generality) but after visiting my one friend who almost lost an arm from high voltage contact, and seeing him in the hospital a few days afterward, today hits home for me. That friend could have easily not made it through that incident, very fortunate he's still around.
I mean that's probably 80% of our user base. CP skews very high to the educated, white collar side of the work force.
