Will sticking a fork in a live plugged in toaster electrocute you?
I don't know, but I just did it. I was standing barefoot on a wool Persian rug in the kitchen while trying to extract some bread from the toaster with a metal fork. There was a terrific spark and flash and I quickly pulled the fork out. The circuit breaker did not blow, but one of the filaments in the toaster broke and it no longer works.
Was I electrocuted? I don't know - I didn't feel anything but my wrist feels a little sore now.
Here's a close up of the prongs of the brand new fork, melted a tad, so something happened. Just luckily - not to me.
