How many folks have actually gotten a shock from a non gfci connection?
I always treat power cables and cords as if they were live.
If I have to connect or disconnect in wet conditions, I wear silicone oven mitts and rubber boots.
I prop up any plugs for extension cords so they won't become immersed.
Is this so difficult that fast acting gfci is a must do for protection?
Last time I got shocked was in 1976 when I was installing a telephone cable and the phone happened to ring just as I was connecting the wires to the lightning suppressor.
