Woman Gets Electrocuted While Entering Pin code At an ATM

A Chinese woman was in for a real shock last weekend when she tried to get money out of an ATM.

The unsuspecting 23-year-old, known as Xiao Liu, had been entering her PIN code into a cash machine in Xi'an, north west China, when a sudden surge of electricity left her needing hospital treatment.
The electric shock sent 200 volts around the woman's body, reported People's Daily Online.
Humans can only handle 36 volts safely.
The electricity passed from Liu's hand to her body, leaving her right arm numb and sore.
Liu was forced to the floor by the impact of the shock at the China Everbright Bank.

She soon realised that she was bleeding and that the fingernails on her right thumb and ring finger were broken.
Her card had also been swallowed by the rogue machine.
