This observation has probably been made many times, but isn't it ironic that
the peak muscle clamping strength straddles European and US mains
frequencies?

I was discussing tetanus with my wife.  She checked
some of her old textbooks and found the attached
explanation of tetanus and a very good graphic.  

In the field of electric shock, tetanus is the 
technical term describing what we commonly refer to
as "can't let go."  

Tetanus occurs in the range of 7 to 50 mA.


Best regards,
