We concluded: He Posted so many videos, which means if he was stupid, he would have already died. So every stun he makes, is on purpose (or most). So he he is actually a very profesional, because he hasnt died yet.

Electric showers and even faucets are widely used in Brazil and they rarely are reported to be lethal, BUT you don't want to touch their plastic shielding when your hands are wet (100% guaranteed in the case of faucets). Edit: it tends to be more unpleasant in showers if you raise your hands and touch them than it is when you operate the faucet. Furthermore, grounding is not something people tend to do, except connecting ground wires to neutral.

Combine that with a bathtub, a USB cord to the socket and that European service panel RCD's trigger at 30mA instead of 6mA ... Tragic! What is amazing is that even international supermarket chains sell them. Nobody has been fined or jailed despite plenty of callbacks!

As far as I know there are supposedly some remote places in the world which only get their electricity from a single wire (which of course is the live wire). So the circuit is actually closed through ground ... like actually through the Earth and its lovely dirt. And no, I have no idea how that would work with the massive resistance of the ground.

Concerning the 5 volt phone charger, please watch one of BigClives videos here on KZfaq on a review of a 5 volt converter from "China". It's internal circuit design allowed 120v AC through the metal outer shield of the USB connector. He traced its design & showed that the USB converter circuit board did not have good isolation between the input & output which allowed this danger to occur. Chinese products that use their own design & then manufactured in China can be quite "lethal". Good engineering is crucial. By the way, Mehdi, your KZfaq site is "Awsome". Thanks for making learning fun again!

Russian here. Yup, most apartment buildings here (that weren't build like in the last 10 years or so, I'm not sure) don't even have grounding pins in the outlets, let alone any protection on bathroom outlets. Our flat actually didn't have a bathroom outlet before and previous owners installed it in parallel with the light switch.

Surely an RCD / GFCI doesn't limit the current you are exsposed to just the duration, they are set to operate greater than or equal to a set threshold (usually 30mA in the UK), so you can be exsposed to a much higher current but for a very short duration

I can tell that in Kyrgyzstan nobody uses RCDs, and many people even bypass OCPs by winding a thick wire (the thicker the better -- the rarer you'll have to rewind it) over the fuse (there's a lot of 60-70s houses and condos that were never refurbished). I'm surprised we don't have dozens of property burn downs on top of cases of electrocution.
