Right. I'm hoping that it was effectively instantaneous. I assume it may have been seconds, but hopefully, if it was a few seconds, there was so much going on that they either didn't feel any pain or didn't realize it.

Right. But then, if your neighbor, Bob, was doing something and you were sitting there thinking "this is a Darwin moment waiting to happen," it's not like there's much if anything that you can do. And saying anything may have opened you up to litigation of some sort. And just imagine the BS when it worked. My guess is that the experts have been talking to friends or others privately or in small groups, but not announced it on TV.
