Who is Kerry Tattersley? $37 sliders turn a LIFESAVER as woman suffers electric shock while vacuum cleaning lawn
A woman said she was saved by a $37 pair of sliders after nearly being electrocuted while vacuuming her artificial garden. Kerry Tattersley, 36, was clearing the artificial grass in her backyard when she went to remove the extension lead and ended up touching a live current. The contact resulted in an instant electric shock with enough force to throw her back into the nearby wall.
Support worker, Kerry, from Halifax, Yorkshire, told Metro, "I was in my garden vacuuming my artificial grass and my extension lead was plugged in too. I had finished vacuuming the grass and went to unplug the extension and the back plastic bit must have been loose". She continued, "I didn't know, and I grabbed it and it fell off while I had hold of the plug and I got electrocuted and I got flung back into my wall. The pain was like a dull ache and a massive tingle through my body and it was like electricity going through my arms." "I was running up and down my kitchen. My arms were shaking, but I couldn't stop them from shaking either. It was like I had no control over them. It was like an eight out of 10 pain" she added.
