As I said I googled to see how many deaths per year in the UK domestic with LV supplies. I was rather surprised I expected more than 22. So we are looking at something like 0.000034% chance of death for electrocution there are twice as many people killed in the US by electrocution intentionally than killed in the UK by accident. Well maybe they use lethal injection now? But anyway the figures are so low for electrocution it seems we are going OTT with protection if the RCD is just to stop deaths by electrocution.
