Reminds me of when my EE brother-in-law was close to getting shocked by 230V mains from an open outlet while helping me renovate my apartment. He was lucky that the "fuse" blew. Later we found out the previous resident had decided to save some 10cnt and had replaced with a a piece of wire. I would have expected something like that in a 3rd world country but not here in Finland!.
