I have been electrocuted twice once as a kid (which I don't remember but my parents reminded me) and once as a teenager which I definitely remember. My country's voltage was 240 volts at 50 Hz. I remember screaming uncontrollably as the current flowed through my arm and chest but managed to drop the live wire. The floor was parquet: wood.
Ouch, that is lucky.
I remember putting some keys into an electrical socket when I was quite young. My hand must have bridged live and neutral, so the current only flowed from thumb to forefinger rather than through my chest to my feet. But it was accompanied by a flash of light and an arc that I saw as a forked tongue. I told my mom that it had bitten me :)
