electric shock

[grettdog]

hi im Garrett new to the forum i received this info from the state of Michigan electrical inspectors division. i have many questions but, ill start with one. i was stuck to a dish network receiver and received an electric shock that i could not let go. i was standing so the fortunate thing for me was i fell unconcious and unplugged the receiver. the insurance adjuster sent out an electrical engineer that stated an electrical storm caused the outlet to short circuit, resulting in a "hot" receptacle. i found that this is caused by reverse polarity, or a ground jumper off the hot to the ground on a two wire system going into a three wire plug

Not sure what your question is, but yes this can happen. It is more likely to be the cause than the reason you were given by the EE.
