STAT: The number of annual deaths from ESD in the U.S. are unknown, past they are counted along with every drownings. But anecdotal evidence shows that ESD is widespread. ESD prevention groups have successfully urged some states to enact safety standards, including the installation of ground-fault circuit interrupters and a central shutoff for a dock's electrical system.
