One man found out a few weeks ago that mixing technology and sweat is not a good combination. Reports claim a 20-year-old student known only as Wu opened his computer case to stop it from overheating but as his sweaty legs came into contact with the machine he electrocuted himself, delivering a deadly shock. Eastday.com reports the sweat triggered a shock of 380 volts.
Shocking!

OMG that is insane! I would never of thought that sweat could get you electrocuted. I wonder how hot his laptop really was.
Slevi says
What was he sticking his hands in, the power supply unit? 😉

Holy cow!
My best friend’s cousin left a laptop on his lap too long while he was in his birthday suit and burnt his hooha. He had to go to the hospital for 2nd degree burns. He ended up with a scar but at least it wasn’t deadly.

This is indeed shocking. Never heard anything like this before. Will have to be careful if I opened my laptop in future.

That’s really scary. I wouldn’t try getting my legs near a computer after a workout.
