There should have been posted signs. Signs that say "dock has an electric charge, no swimming, or you could be electrocuted." This is a huge liability minefield.
Okay, appears to be a rare (tragic) event but begs many questions, such as, "If the electrocutions are the result of electrical system deficiencies at the dock, what is the "fatal zone" surrounding the dock where swimming should be avoided?" I doubt the entire lake was electrically charged to a degree where it was life-threatening to enter the water.
It would ground directly beneath the point of contact between the cable and the water(path of least resistance.) While water, itself isn’t a great conductor, a lake is because of the infinite impurities. As for lethal radius it should theoretically make an electromagnetic field with a radius directly proportional to the amperage of the current and the distance between the current and the ground.
@@ethak23 it would depend if that point is deeper or if there's somewhere adjacent that's a shorter distance. And as water's always moving so with the current it wouldn't be a straight line but rather a jagged line similar to lightning I would guess
@@ethak23 if someone peed next to the dock and had alot of sodium in the pee ,would that affect the path thru the water into the ground? I watched this video today called "where does grounded electricity actually go", where they do an interesting experiment with ground and sodium.
HINT: its NOT usually a dock with power thats the problem, its the BOATS that are AT the dock that are PLUGGED IN to the dock power outlet; the boats then can have a power leakage INTO the water! ive heard of this before, theres other vids on yt about this, kids swimming near a powered dock. pple shd NEVER go into the water near a powered dock, ever. few boat owners know that their boat leaks power into the water.
If your boat is bleeding shore power through your boat electrifying the water around it then that’s just Darwin thinning out the gene pool! Jump in by all means! I love it when peoples own stupidity gets them hurt or killed! It tells me everything’s working like it should.
@@guybeingaguy perhaps you can tell that to the mother of the kid that was electrocuted while swimming near a dock, the owner of the boat had no idea his boat was leaking electricity into the water, and was devastated, as was the parents of the kid.
Whenever different metals are placed in a conductive liquid, such as salt water, you create a battery. If you connect these pieces of metal together, current will flow. This current, trying to equalize the conductivity of the metals, will be removing metal from one of the metal pieces. This removal is called "electrolysis". If the piece being removed is the zinc in your flashlight battery that is good, but if one of the pieces is your propeller it is bad.
This is something that should never happen. The National Electric Code requires that there be GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection of the circuit feeding power to a boat dock. The instructions for GFCI breakers etc. say they should be tested once a month. Proper grounding and bonding coupled with GFCI protection are required for life safety. If you are not a certified electrician don't try to wire things yourself. Also if you are using an extension cord anywhere outside, make sure it is plugged into a (good working) GFCI receptacle. There is a test button on the GFCI receptacle and breaker, if you press the button and the power does not shut off to the load then get a new one properly installed and test it again. GFCI receptacles have a rest button on them and GFCI breakers require the handle to be pushed fully to the off position and then pushed back to the on position. Test, Test, Test everyone do it now, every boat dock with power, swimming pools, fountains, house, commercial buildings, and industrial buildings should have at least one GFCI protected receptacle/circuit. (Kitchens, bathrooms, exterior receptacles and other locations as required by the National Electric Code and/or local code)
First thing, I thought! I have our pool circuit on a dedicated gfi breaker, and the outlets (only two) are gfi also! The electrician, said the only downside, to my ,belt and suspenders aproach, was troubleshooting, in the event of a problem, but with only two outlets to isolate, not that big of a deal. Side note, last year, testing one of the outlets, the outlet was on, but it could not be tripped by the reset. Now, that's on my pool start up sheet.
This is what I did not understand. Since when can you not go in the water near boat docks...??? I've never heard of this! It must have been configured incorrectly, right??
@@deprofundis3293 It could have been wired incorrectly, but the article said, it was installed by a licensed electrician, but more likely, the GFI circuit, was not working. If a GFI circuit is working, and the person, makes contact, with current, and ground, the circuit shuts off in mili seconds, if it not working, the person, becomes part of the circuit. The faulty GFI outlet, that I wrote about in my situation, was not working, and could have resulted in a shock, that's why I test, my outdoor GFI's on pool startup.
Deuteronomy 32:35 “To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.”
Ok then how do you avoid this?? It's not like one can never go in the water near their boat or near a dock. I live in an area with many lakes. Everyone does this. So WHEN exactly is it dangerous?? And where?
Looks like GA needs to update some regulations on how electrical items are installed, the likelihood of a failure, and possible determine how to notify swimmers of amperage readings in the lake or this will keep happening.
I wouldn't rely on those things, I've been shocked by GFCI circuits (yes they tested good before and after). Should never swim at a dock that has shore power.
I watched a documentary about two women going to the bar somewhere in Georgia on their way back they crashed into the lake it's been dubbed "lady of the lake" ever since

The inspector needs the homeowners approval to check the dock. The inspection is voluntary and there’s a fee attached. There’s no formal requirement for inspection. Until that changes docks will continue to fall into disrepair and create hazards
I've been boating all my life, and some of my hard and fast rules are: Never, ever swim in a marina, never swim off a dock that has shore power connected to it, and never swim around a boat that has an engine running. But still, I agree, shouldn't blame these swimmers.
@@sylviaisgod6947Ok then how do you avoid this?? It's not like one can never go in the water near their boat. Everyone does. So WHEN exactly is it dangerous??
As a licensed electrician that dock should have had ground fault circuit interruption, That could have been the problem but i am just speculating, So sorry for the family.
I live on a lake, and have a dock with electricity from the house. If you have some kind of multi meter, you can put one probe on a metal post on the dock, and put the other in the water. It will tell you if there is any voltage in the water. Should be zero. I have noticed that Hydro Hoist has gone to a different standard boat lift pump that is mounted vertically on a metal dock post, instead of the floor of the dock. They have to put some kind of isolator behind the mount to separate the pump from the metal post. Like a piece of trex decking or a piece of wood. Attach the pump to the isolator on the metal post, and problem solved. Anyone who lives on the water should be aware of this danger. Sadly, money doesn't buy brains. But you can rent them from a pro...
Docks are not for funiture and hanging out on? I get what dude was saying but he is wrong. Docks are commonly used like this, have been and will continue to be.
They warned us in a Power Squadron boating safety course that this can happen and not to let your kids or anyone swim around docks. When I see boat leave their slips I often see the electrical wire left on the dock. If that falls in, whoever is in the water nearby will be electrocuted. Make sure to disconnect the electrical wire at the source, not just from the boat.
@@wherethequietbeingsgo Well, we've had squirrels tear up our cable tv wires.. raccoons tearing up the house. In that area, it'd be something I'd keep an eye on.

This guy isn’t the sharpest tool. Not for lawn chairs or swimming? Buddy, anything in or around that lake must be considered exactly that. “Codes” are for that very reason. Anything in use or not that electrifies the water and also doesn’t throw a breaker to cut power is a no go. Someone is gonna have some real bad legal days ahead.
Ban amperage over 30 milliamps NOW! Ban over 30 inches of water NOW! Take all water and electricity away from everyone who had nothing to do with this.
Can't they put a meter in the water where it powers on a light or something... And then that light shines a sign that says "ELECTRICUTION" or something?
Listen, we locals don't swim here. The chicken plants in gainesville dump waste in the lake. Whether you believe the curse or not, the lake is disgusting and filthy. Rest in peace to this poor man and everyone else that has lost their lives. If any one reading this has had an inkling to visit this lake when visiting Georgia, just don't. This lake is not worth it.
