1. A defibrillation assembly energizable through pad removal, comprising:
a mechanical switch that is in an open position when the circuitry is not in use;
an energy storage element that supplies power to the mechanical switch;
circuitry configured to generate a defibrillation waveform, wherein the circuitry is isolated from the energy storage element by the mechanical switch; and
electrode pads through which the defibrillation waveform is delivered to a patient, wherein a removal of at least one of the electrode pads from an initial position to a further position causes the power to flow to the circuitry through the mechanical switch, wherein the circuitry comprises a controller unit configured to determine whether the flow of the power was accidental and to power down the circuitry upon making the determination the flow of the power was accidental.
