The local state trooper that used to do the training on these things thought that it would be a good idea to teach his teenage daughter to use it as well. Apparently she was a little apprehensive after he retrieved the training set from the back of his car, which coincedentaly looks just like the real one, so to show her how safe this is he put the paddles against his head and hit the button you guessed it, wrong set! Supposedly when the EMT's got there 10 minutes later he was still twitching and unresponsive.

Defib's are programmed to read and understand the hearts electrical patterns and act accordingly. If his heart is beating fine, it shouldnt do a damn thing. Thats why anyone who gets training gets told, if you suspect heart attack, slap it on him, it makes the call. The worst thing you can do is not get the Defib on the person.
