Even if one cannot find any evidence of death by inverter, presumably
the papers would report it as "man dies of electrocution", not
"inverter kills man".
Ach, but google being pretty intense - there would be *something* -
the poor trollbait can't find *anything*, so are buggered.

The only mention of inverters and electrocution on Google lead back to
this thread!

And besides, why do you believe "there would be something" relating to
death by inverter? The inverter is a fairly obscure piece of equipment
to the ordinary person, and there's no reason to think that news
reports would make specific mention of it; the press would more likely
refer to a death caused by a faulty inverter as "electrocution by
faulty equipment".

Beyond that, what exactly what are the opposing contentions here again?

There's nothing obscure about an inverter - its a very common piece of electronics that 'makes' 240v AC out of of 12v dc battery power - used by campers and the like. Also used used to supply computer equipment in case of power failure as a UPS or Uninteruptable Power Supply.
Zillions around, wordwide,

It started as "electric fences will kill you", and swopped to invertors are similarly lethal.

No it didn't! It started with you stating that because it [electric fence] ran from a car battery it wasn't dangerous. I challenged you to poke your fingers in the holes of my 1kVA inverter to see what a 12V car battery could really do.

Well, the challenge is there, poke your fingers into the output sockets of an inverter. Basically put-up or shut-up. I look forward to the video on Youtube
.
