You most certainly didn't pull 15 amps when you were shocked that would have cooked the path it took if it were. There are many factors in play when it comes to electric shock vs electrocution. The path the current takes is the most important. Old time electricians use to touch a mains hot wire with an index finger while touching the return with the middle finger (same hand) to test if it was live. If it was they usually got a painful shock but no perm infant damage. Now if they did that with both hands the current path would pass across the heart and probably stop it. Don"t try this at home but you can grab a hot wire 110 volts from a 15 amp outlet and as long as your not touching a return path like a water pipe or standing in water you won't feel a thing. I once had to trouble shoot a large color display CRT and the scope probe in my hand came in contact with the 23,000 volt fly back. I didn't notice it until I heard a loud fast snapping noise. I looked down at my arm a saw a 3 inch arch jumping from my elbow to the metal frame. The high voltage low current traveled the length of my forearm but didn't do any damage other than a small burn where it left my elbow. I've been shocked so many times I lost count and were always because of carelessness or complacent. But the absolute worst shock I ever got was from the static charge on a 20 inch CRT. It knocked me back 10 feet into a wall and when I recovered had to be checked out at the local ER. Electricity is un predictable when it comes to a human resistor.
Oh and for the person that doesn't thing little 28 gauge wire can harm you. Try connecting one of your outlets to each end of an un frozen hot dog with 28 gauge wire and see what happens to the hotdog. Dinner is served.
in the original article it claims she was using the official one. A little bit of reading is needed you know?
