Well, I think what he was saying is that no current would flow thru the
skin UNTIL the tissue became damp,at which point the alarm would go off
anyway,and we could turn off the current and keep the alarm going until
someone arrived to help the person. This way,there would only be a fraction
of a second exposure to the current, and ONLY when the problem actually
occured.
