To touch an unknown surface, it's better to touch with the palm facing me.
-------------- Yes rCo thatrCOs correct.
If you must touch an unknown surface, use the back of your hand (palm facing you). If thererCOs electricity, muscle contraction tends to pull your hand away, not clamp it on.
Touching with your palm or fingers first is more dangerous. Electric shock causes the hand to close involuntarily, making it hard or impossible to let go.
This is standard electrical safety advice. Electricians are taught to rCLtest with the back of the handrCY and to use only one hand when possible.
ItrCOs still not safe rCo just less dangerous. Strong current can injure or kill regardless of how you touch.
