Photo Examples of Burns and Other Injuries


Electrical Burns
  • Entrance Wound: High resistance of skin transforms electrical energy into heat, which produces burns around the entrance point (dark spot in center of wound). This man was lucky, the current narrowly missed his spinal cord.

  • Exit Wound: Current flows through the body from the entrance point, until finally exiting where the body is closest to the ground. This foot suffered massive internal injuries, which weren't readily visible, and had to be amputated a few days later.

Arc or Flash Burns
  • This man was near a power box when an electrical explosion occurred. Though he did not touch the box, electricity arcedthrough the air and entered his body. The current was drawn to his armpits because perspiration is very conductive.

Thermal Contact Burns
  • Current exited this man at his knees, catching his clothing on fire and burning his upper leg.

  • Same hand a few days later, when massive subcutaneous tissue damage had caused severe swelling (swelling usually peaks 24-72 hours after electrical shock). To relieve pressure which would have damaged nerves and blood vessels, the skin on the arm was cut open.

Involuntary Muscle Contraction
  • This worker fell and grabbed a powerline to catch himself. The resulting electric shock mummified his first two fingers, which had to be removed. The acute angle of the wrist was caused by burning of the tendons, which contracted, drawing the hand with them.
