I realize this is years and years ago (I honestly don't know what year it was, and I'm sure that it was when electricity was still fairly new) but my Dad's cousins mother was electrocuted by stepping on an extension cord that was laying on the wet grass and killed. I just called Dad and he thinks it was 1936.
Do a Google search with electrocution, ponds, marinas...
The main culprit behind these needless tragedy's is ignorance!
Cant see electricity, and no way to tell if a BOW is electrified!
Sorry man. I woke up this morning at 4:30AM, like I normally do, and had a sense of fear with regards to this thread.
