In Oklahoma, USA, a 16-year-old teenager had a close call with being electrocuted while charging his phone in bed. His metal cross necklace, worn around his neck, accidentally conducted electricity, turning into a "hot coil" with sparks flying in an instant, accompanied by a smell of burning.
Luckily, the quick-witted teenager managed to yank off the necklace before getting seriously injured.
The incident occurred on April 30th when the young man's mother, Danielle, suddenly heard her son screaming in his room. She immediately went to check and found a strong smell of burnt hair and flesh in the room, mixed with the acrid plastic odor of burnt electricity, which was very unpleasant.
On her son's neck and collarbone, there was a bright red area with horrifying black burnt marks in the shape of his cross necklace.
Her son, Reese, was still in shock: "I almost got electrocuted by my own necklace!" It turned out that at the time of the incident, Reese was charging his phone when something fell onto the bed. He moved to avoid it and accidentally touched the plug of the phone charger.
Thinking about having class tomorrow, I rolled over to check if my phone was charging properly. Unexpectedly, my necklace accidentally touched the exposed prongs of the loose plug, resulting in an electric shock.
Throughout the whole process, Rees remained very alert. He knew he had been shocked and was well aware of the danger:
"The necklace is made of metal, wrapped around my neck like a coil." Rees tried to pull off the necklace, but it was a difficult process.
After being electrified, the necklace was very hot, with a part of it already welded to the charger, and the necklace itself was quite thick.
Fortunately, luck was on his side, and in the end, Rees managed to pull off the necklace and escape unharmed.
