Addenda - my numbers are wrong.
I was including lightning strikes in the AU numbers, but the US numbers were electrical (lines, domestic, construction, etc) only.
So fatality ratios skew higher in the USA than AU, at least. The numbers are quite low in both cases, so the ostensible safety benefits of 110V at 15-20A may not be terribly compelling in practice.
Does that hypothesis actually align with the data?
I'm struggling to find good figures that spell this out on a region by region basis.
The data are often muddied, f.e. by including lightning strikes, ladders or trucks hitting overhead high-voltage power lines, self-harm / suicide attempts, etc.
For example, some Australian data for a 2-year period [1]
Either way that's about 26 / year out of a population of ~25M ~= 1 per million.In the USA I'm finding:
Alternatively [3] for USA: 300 out of a population of ~330M ~= 1 per million[1] https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/injury/electrical-injuries-d...
