Of those who survive, about 75% have ongoing health problems as a result, such as cataracts and hearing loss. [1] If death occurs it is typically from either an abnormal heart rhythm or respiratory failure. [1] Lightning injuries are divided into direct strikes, side splash, contact injury, and ground current. [1]
The main causes of death and disablement in this state are thermal burns and the failure of structures resulting from the blast effect. Injury from the pressure wave is minimal in contrast because the human body can survive up to 2 bar (30 psi) while most buildings can withstand only a 0.8 bar (12 psi) blast.
Blast injuries can cause hidden sensory [11] and brain damage, with potential neurological and neurosensory consequences. It is a complex clinical syndrome caused by the combination of all blast effects, i.e., primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary blast mechanisms.

Much to Giger's dismay, his model reduced the production team to fits of laughter ...
A strong electric shock can often cause painful muscle spasms severe enough to dislocate joints or even to break bones. The loss of muscle control is the reason that a person may be unable to release themselves from the electrical source; if this happens at a height as on a power line they can be thrown off.
Alien: Romulus, naturally, has a chestburster scene because viewers might ask for a refund without one. But Álvarez’s version has extra elements added on top of the central body horror.
