Is there a swimsuit section, or has that been banned as un-PC?

I usually swim naked in the early hours

Often tossed orf?, many cruisers go overboard

I read about a bloke who reckons he electrocuted people in a swimming pool by throwing a tv off a balcony

Which would physically be impossible unless he had a long extension lead

but I don't use as a rule

Then again in Thailand they often put high voltage electrics in dangerous places

Never heard of anyone getting a shock or dying, as their customers are all French & Indians

TVs of the old type had large electrolytic capacitors. He may well have given someone a bit of a jolt. But only if it landed right next to them, so probably all bullshit.

It was in the 80s so that is a possiblity

He most likely meant that he gave them a shock. Quite likely if an old tv landed on your head while you were doing the breaststroke.

Actually, the coil on the CRT develops maybe 1000 V (can't remember exactly) and may be behind the urban myth that a TV can electrocute when thrown into a pool, like a toaster into a bath. Myth I reckon wrt a tv not plugged in. The capacitors were not that big!
Remember, it's current that kills, not voltage.

But they are related. Remember the basics:
V = I x R
I = V/R

Yeeerrrrs. It's still always current that kills. 240 V can kill...if the resistance is such that the current is high. 1000V won't kill if the resistance is such that the current is low.
It's the flow (the current) that matters, disrupting the heart neurons and burning tissues (due to resistance ), not the potential energy (voltage). That's why V is "potential" energy only. Current lets the electricity see it's potential.
