I'm constantly surprised by the number of coworkers I encounter who have never been shocked by household current and think its some kind of instant death. I mean, every house is wired with this stuff. How you get to age 20+ and never experience a taste of household current?No joke, while changing all the outlets and switches in the house, I debate on telling the kids to touch it while the breaker was still on so they could know what an electric shock felt like so they could react accordingly if it ever happened.
I have been shocked by 110V hundreds of times.
I get that you are concerned but I would put money on him being more psychologically affected than anything else and I doubt he blames your wife for it.

I guess I'm a little less surprised that people havent experienced an electric fence, with the increasing urbanization. For those of us who grew up in the real world where there are things like cows and electric fences, its pretty laughable that letting a kid touch an electric fence is some kind of terrible child abuse.
I wouldnt tell my kids to touch it. But I might do it in front of them then dare them to do it.
When a bird sits on a single wire the potential is the same between each leg. If perchance it touched another wire it would be fried. If you don't touch the ground I think you can just grab the wire

Yes, you can find videos online of kids in a chain standing on something and holding the fence and then touching someone grounded and they all get shockedSo hover-planking would've made it safe. Gotcha.
And yes, I've seen birds on power lines, but it was the fact that it was also sitting touching the wooden stake the wires were nailed to. I'm not an electricity expert but that + uninsulated metal wire nailed to wooden posts + lack of any visible 'electric fence' accoutrements besides said wires made me think it was bullshit.
Well, wood is a pretty good insulator all by itself.
Cad Literally the only line I remember from Tango and Cash is when one of them handed the other one a little gun and he asked "Why is yours bigger than mine?" "Genetics".
