>this could happen to anyone
What did the Ameridumbs mean by that?
>>38301015
its common for teens to use their phones in the shower/tub so it could happen to any of then
Personally I'd rather not risk water damage so my phone stays on the sink
>>38301015
this is almost as funny as the time a girl died in a pancake eating contest
I can't find where it says "it could happen to anyone" I just see where to says to warn kids about the dangers of electricity.

It's in the full story, along with "the phone was plugged into the wall".

That changes everything, it wasn't the phone that electrocuted her but the charger. Who the fuck plays in the bathtub with a live end charger of 120V AC.

rlly makes u tink what the media is trying to make u sthik who are the """good guys""""
and then they always come up with retarded reasons why """"bad guys"""" always have to go on shooting spree to kill this types of people

>tfw u realize US is so incompetent to build safeguards around all houses such as in the EU that forces the entire electricity in the house automatically to be cut off during weird power surges and that the media is basically not covering a story of that but instead of a poor sad girl and her silly smartphone that adults are so indoctrinated to see that those things rnt even a bad thing for kids
wrekd u fukin shill
>Dying from electrucution from a fucking cell phone
>Risking damage to your electronics by using them in the shower/bath
Weak and dumb as fuck. Natural selection at work.

Not him, but she still deserved it, considering she jumped in the tub with a power cord. This is practically suicide and any teenager should be well aware.
So it seems that what really got her was trying to plug in or unplug the wall end of the charger while being dripping wet. That makes a lot more sense then somehow dying to the 5 volts and 2ish amps on the usb end.
>routinely shitbrowse using my phone in the bath
>have done so while t was charging
>have literally dropped my phone in the water (not while charging)
Fuck I'm retarded

The USB side or the phone itself will not kill you, unless you get rather creative.
