Electrician is hard to shock
June 11th 2008 An electrican from Romania has claimed he never suffers from electric shocks, even when he touches live wires without protection.
Reports on Ananova say Constantin Craiu, 51, from Buzau, can stick two fingers into a power socket and ony feel his fingers getting warm.
"One day when I was working as an electrician for the railway company, I had to make some repairs to a building's network," explained Mr Craiu.
"I asked my colleague to disconnect the power and started doing my job. It was only after I finished that we both realised I was working with live wires."
In a demonstration for local journalists, Craiu, who has become known as "The Electric Man," put two wires into an electricity socket and used his hands as conductors to turn on a lamp.
According to specialists it is possible Mr Craiu's skin might have a special resistance to electricity or he may have an unknown anomaly which protects his heart from shocks.
