During a free period today in school, there was about 15 of us in the room, a few were playing with a fan (which randomly appeared in the room a week ago), while me and someone else were working on an English essay + we were sitting at that table with the fan. They were putting pencils in it, just messing around with it, and a girl was getting fairly irritated about it. I never even noticed her leaving the room, but a minute later, she comes back with a pair of scissors and cut the cable. All of us gasp, saying "you could have killed yourself", and she's so stupid to think that she wasn't risking her life. Now, I never even noticed her until she was snapping the cable, but I was ready to get up and save her. Luckily the scissors had a grippy, rubber handle to them, otherwise she would've been electrocuted terribly. It's also lucky that she never cut the live wire first or it could have jolted up her arm. I've never been so stunned in my life, to see something like that.
But, we fixed the fan in the end (even though the fuse was blown) using keys to take out the screwsIt's now using a 13A instead of a 3A...
Could have had shocking consequences
