lets say that the courts allowed for extreme and unusual punishment. you have been sentenced to die by microwave oven transformer. You have the choice of it being dropped on your head at 50 feet or being electrocuted by it. what is your choice? and why.

It would definitely have to be 'death by plasma' for me, but this is a bit of a morbid thread. amazed

I am not going to answer this.
If I choose either one, I'm afraid that it might actually happen to me someday. I know, it's an irrational fear, but I really hate ironic deaths.

Doesn't electrocution imply death?

I think, a death from 50 feet is faster and saver as a death from a micowave transformer.

Heh, I have used my 4 mot stack hundreds of times and been careful to the extent of paranoia to not ever be in a situation where I could come in contact with the circuit for fear of death but I never stopped to think that one might fall on me.

Both will hurt, but I guess I'd choose being zapped to death. One will bash your skull in and leave a mess. One will leave a burn mark, and not a gorey sight.
