Fingers are far more sensitive. Touch it with an elbow.

Tip:
use the backside of the hand to touch a prospectfully charged electric wire.
If the electricity causes your hand to tense up, you'll be glad it doesn't close up, grabbing an electric wire.

Pretty much what I was going to say.

Don't listen to that elbow or back of the hand crap. Even though most if not all electric fences are DC, they pulse the current so you would never have a clench response. Instead, pick up a blade of grass and touch it with that. The grass acts as a resistor and lowers the current you receive. He did earn a few Darwin points however for standing in a mud-puddle and touching something electric. He should go hug an electrical engineer for sparing his life.

Holy shit, that was hilarious!

BTW, anyone know what was with the delayed reaction? Does it wait for a certain amount of tension in the line before activating the electricity or something?

There isnt a constant stream of electricity. Most eletric fences work with long pulse frequencies. You can touch, there is nothing and then suddenly ... IHHHHHHHH!

that was like a perfect comedy skit right there

When we were kids a common prank was to grab someone by the arm and then touch the fence. Current passes through you into them. Of course, you still get shocked, but a) you're expecting it and b) it's a small price to pay for the smiting of one's enemies/best friends.

Yeah, it's called general advice for touching something that may be electrified. You go ahead and use your blade of grass.

As soon as you let go, the discomfort goes away. It doesn't linger unless you got shocked withe enough amperage for a skin burn, which is unlikely with an electric fence. He's still holding his hand as if it still hurts.

"Fuck my life" has got to be the best thing I've heard all day.

The worst that can happen is you punch yourself in the face.

He might well be gay, but it really doesn't have anything to do with the video if he is.

Real men piss on them.
