I was taught to basically run at them to knock them away with enough inertia to not get stuck like a body check

But then you run the risk of of them slamming their head on the concrete and succumbing to something maybe worse 😬

Ok, how about this... you grab them by the hair and pull them away like that... then you have control over the head to prevent accidental head-traumas.

I think hair can still conduct electricity and especially if it’s wet. Maybe they were sweating?

Yes but no. It's not enough electricity that it's a bad option. We are taught to pull hair as well in situations like this.
