A 16-year-old dies electrocuted by a helmet

A 16-year-old boy was electrocuted with a helmet. Mohammed Aidil Azzahar Zaharin resided in Malaysia and was using the accessory while the smartphone was plugged into the charger, generating additional power released, creating a circular arc between the 240-volt input and the output 5 volts ] who killed the boy instantly.

According to the coroners, the death was actually shocked, with the teenager having no external injuries indicating cardiac arrest after electrocution. Mohammed's brother had already experienced a similar situation, showing that the inevitability could have been avoided if the sender had been replaced at the time of the first event.

As you can see in the picture, it is possible to see on the picture, the accessory is a simple model, very similar to those sold here in the country by major manufacturers such as Lenovo, Motorola, Samsung and ASUS. However, what attracts attention is the fact that the phone has managed to transmit such a strong electrical charge to the ear of the teenager, to the point of not having time to scream at the same time. Help and die immediately.

At the age of 14, I suffered a slight electrical shock to the helmet, which caused slight damage to the hearing of my right ear, this which I am suffering today with the consequences (but not in an extremely damaging way).

The story ran as follows: I bought an accessory to connect to my computer because, at that time, I still had no cell phone or any type of product allowing this type connection. In an attempt to save money (carioca mix and lack of money), I finally opted for a product of $ 1.99, thinking to make a good deal .. ..

A few days after the purchase, listening to a song to quietly spend time during a series of "Chicken Invaders", my body felt a very strong electric charge, especially in the ear region. My first instinct was to remove the headset and disconnect it from the PC. Maybe this action saved my life, or at least saved me significant damage to my hearing.

To avoid any similar situation, avoid using a headset while charging the smartphone, or preferably keep the device. off until charging is complete.
