You cannot die from the normal shock that you get when you rub the floor and then touch a light switch, etc. The amount of electrical current that is sent through your body is harmless and will do no permanent damage to you or your organs.
The shock you have to worry about is the one you would receive from getting struck by lightning.

How many people in India die due to electric shock?
thousands every year
Will electric shock break a bone?
An electric shock by itself is unlikely to break a bone. However, if a person experiences a severe electric shock that causes muscle contractions or throws them forcefully, it is possible for bones to break due to the impact or trauma resulting from the shock.
Why do you get an electric shook when you brush against another person?
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges on a surface of a material. The charge stays there until it connects to another surface. It makes a shock because one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical currents.
Do electrons make a shock?
Electrons themselves do not create a shock. However, electrons moving through a material can generate an electric current, which can lead to electrical shocks when coming into contact with a person or object due to the flow of electricity.
How do your eyes pop out with electric charges?
It is not possible for eyes to pop out due to electric charges. Electric shock can cause muscle contractions or burns, but it cannot physically cause eyes to pop out. If you experience a sensation of eyes popping out after an electric shock, it may be due to a psychological reaction or perception rather than a physical occurrence.
Have you ever experienced feeling an electric shock when touching metal?
Yes, some people may experience an electric shock when touching metal due to static electricity buildup or faulty wiring.
What type of shock is caused by trauma?
Shock occurs due to massive bleeding and pain. Losing an arm will put a person into shock. Trauma will likely kill a person before it puts one into shock.
Why does a cow that touches an electric fence experience a mild shock?
When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.
Sometimes people are thrown out when they get an electric shock why?
This is due to the muscles in our bodies disengaging from the current and contracting violently, throwing us.
Can animals and plants get electric shock?
Yes, both animals and plants can be affected by electric shocks. Animals that come into contact with electrical currents can be electrocuted, while plants can experience damage to their cells and tissues due to the flow of electricity. It is important to exercise caution to prevent harm to both animals and plants in areas where electrical hazards exist.
Why capacitors may pose an electric shock even in unpowered circuits?
Capacitors are used to store electricity in a circuit, so even when the circuit is unpowered, so long as it's still functional, it would still give off a small electric shock due to electric charge present in capacitor.
Why do you get an electric shock when you touch a door knob after walking on carpet?
When you walk on carpet, your body builds up a static electric charge. When you touch a metal door knob, the excess electrons are transferred from your body to the knob, causing a sudden discharge in the form of an electric shock. This is due to the difference in electric potential between your body and the door knob.
