I know the physics of it. I was wondering in that specific video where the current was originating because I didn't see anything requiring much power on athletic floor.

A decent current will quite readily knock you on your behind and generate enough heat to burn deeply.

I've thankfully only gotten a few jolts from 120V pushing little current. Painful but no heat and no muscle locking.

I did get one of those electric ab machines and that was a lesson on how easy it is for 3 volts to make someone twitch. Didn't get me abs tho...
