ELECTRIC CHAIR
Tests have been made on an "electric chair" by a leading Swedish insurance company, Skandia of Stockholm, following an alarming rise in vehicle thefts. A person sitting in the driver's seat or the passenger front seat trying to steal the vehicle "will have the unpleasant experience of an electric shock of about 9,000 volts. Since the electric current is inductive, however, and only 65 microampere, it is not harmful to people, not even if they are suffering from heart ailments".
