A woman has said her £30 Puma sliders saved her life after she was nearly electrocuted while vacuuming her artificial lawn.
Kerry Tattersley, 36, was vacuuming her fake grass lawn in her backyard when she went to unplug the extension lead and touched a live current. The resulting contact from the electric shock produced enough force to throw her back into the nearby wall.
The support worker from Halifax, said: "I was in my garden vaccing my artificial grass and my extension lead was plugged in too. I had finished vaccing the grass and went to unplug the extension and the back plastic bit must have been loose.
