The actual video title is "Lorenzetti Electric Shower Head", the HN submission title is edited to include the nickname "suicide shower head". I think the best would be is to just use the actual video title here.

FWIW it's just a nickname for their apparently dangerous design (which doesn't necessarily translate to actually dangerous), it has nothing to do with suicides.

It is extremely common that these showers are installed visibly ungrounded which is extremely dangerous by developed country standards. It's common to feel a tingling sensation while showering if you are in any way tall (over 175cm).

That said, it's obviously something millions of people live with, so it's still relatively safe in grand terms.

Why does the user's height make a difference?

Closer to the shower head, less resistance from the water.
