Say for example you were to get shocked by an household electrical outlet/ power socket as you were pulling out a plug but some how managed to touch the two metal prongs on the plug in the process of pulling it out, would a quick shock like that reach the brain? And even worse, fry it, causing thermal heat injury to tissue? I read somewhere that it potentially also could cause concussive forces leading to irreversible damage.

So, well, I pulled out a plug from an extension cord, which required me to use one hand to keep it in place, and the other to pull out the plug itself to break the circuit. Well, what happened was that, it was a bit hard to plug out, but when I pulled with enough force it eventually dislodged from the socket. Unfortunately, I could feel the two metal prongs touching my other hand when it was pulled out. So I'm now not entirely sure if I was actually shocked or not, because it went so fast. So is an electrical outlet as hazardeous to your health as people make it out to be? Isn't it normal to have tried being shocked by one, at least once?
