Fire, water or electricity?

Question

Of all of those, which can be most dangerous?

Answer 1

Water is the most dangerous among three!

Water can only make fires worst if the fire is cause by electricity or fuels, and electricity conducts to water, so you'll be electrocuted.

Answer 2

They all can kill..

Answer 3

If you go by death statistics, Water is slightly more dangerous than fire.  Death by electrocution does not even register as there are so few.  But far more people die from simple falls than die from fire and drowning combined.

But if you look at danger as both death or injury then fire is clearly the most dangerous.  If you come in contact with any fire more than a few seconds you will be burned.  In a large fire, the smoke is toxic.  Fire can be out of control.  No matter how small the flame, there is risk and danger

Water is not dangerous to come in contact with and in fact you must have it to live.  Water is only dangerous in certain situations, not in all situations.  One can drown, but one is rarely injured from contact with water.

Electricity is rarely dangerous because it is so controlled.  One has to go out of their way to come in contact with a live electrical circuit.  Very few people die or are injured by electricity, compared to other causes of death or injury

Answer 4

fire can burn you to a crisp and can cause extreme pain and death. if its put out early enough than you will have 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree burns, each respectively getting deeper  and more damaging.

water an burn if it is heated or give you hypothermia if it is super cold. if you are trapped under water than you drown.

electricity can help if given in low voltage, a few acupuncturist use electricity to allow the chi to flow to the inured spot. if it is given in high voltage, like a thunderbolt than is can kill. thunder will only kill if it goes across the heart. if you are grounded and it travels down to the ground without going across the heart than you might feel a bit weird but you will live. if your heart already stopped than this might actually bring you back to life. this is how a defibrillator works. it sends a surge of electricity across the heart to get it pumping blood again.

if all three are combined than i wold call you screwed. if you  are in a lake on the verge of boiling and a thunderbolt hits you, you're screwed. the thunder travels through you into the water and back to you. the water would slowly bring your temperature up past 105 degrees f. if you hit 105 you organs begin to melt and you die.

all three are dangerous but it's most dangerous is when all three are combined.

Answer 5

They all are very dangerous

I think fire

because may live after being burnt but you will not be recognized

Answer 6

i think electricity because just the other day i was putting my hand down the bed and on the lamp my finger went into the lamp and i got electrocuted. You can get electrocuted and you won't even know it is there.

Answer 7

Electricity is the least dangerous!

Fire is next It is always dangerous. Smoke and or toxic gases are byproducts of a fire they are often more dangerous than the fire itself. mix water in a chemical or grease fire and you have only made the danger greater.

Water for sure is the most dangerous or the three. Add it to electricity and you have danger. Mix it with a grease or chemical fire and you have increased the danger of fire.

Water can cause you to slip and fall, drink contaminated or even sea water and you can die or become very ill.

If it is in it's solid form "Ice" more slippery danger. It is also sharp, hard  enough to be a danger if hit by it or landing hard on it. If you have enough of it you can get frost bite or die from exposure.



In it's gaseous state steam will scald and burn you.

In it's liquid state you can slip and fall or drown. If you spend too much time in it it can cause your skin to soften, loosen and quite possibly shed. Water in the form of a flood is capable of carrying you away where you are likely to experience one of the other dangers I have already mentioned. Flood waters can also carry debris that may be hazardous to your health.

No potable water and you will dehydrate and eventually die.

I hope this clears thing up for you.
