Ironically, falling backward is what saved him from a potentially far worse disaster. Had he fallen forward, he presumes he would have "broken his head open."
Despite the electric shock, Frehley went on to play the show with no feeling in his right hand.
Frehley went on to define an era of rock with his blazing riffs, theatrical solos and a kind of off-the-planet charm. In fact, the near death experience inspired the hit song "Shock Me" from the Love Gun album.
