This has come up before, GFCI current vs time. Finally found a document containing the chart showing UL, Let Go, average and fatal plots. Look here: GFCI Chart.

The larger tragedy is that you wear shorts to work in.220/221 said:I was using a demo hammer, sitting on concrete, wearing shorts.
The frayed cord was on my thigh and the hammer was resting on it. I felt a slight sting and the GFCI recep had tripped.
They work.

You're just jealous.
No wonder the Supreme Court takes so long...
The epiphany is that there could be a bootleg ground on the GFCI. Therefore the current would go from the strand on the cord, through the carpenter, through the drill Charles, through the green wire in the drill's cord and then across the bootleg ground to the system neutral.
Since the currents balance, the GFCI wouldn't trip.
