Turkeygirl Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'm sure most of you know where this is going So earlier today I was picking some more gourds from my garden. I decided to take some to my favorite athletic trainers tomorrow. The garden is a fence in area in the horse pasture, so I duck under the electric fence. We just got a new fencer yesterday so it is fairly strong in zapping Well I'm walk up the hill, carrying a box with gourds and a pumpkin. I set the box under the fence then duck, trying to be careful not to hit the wire. Next thing I know, I feel something on my lower back, upper gluteus maximus area, and my entire body is paralyzed/siezes for a second. That is the best I can remember it. Then after a second, I hear "zzzzz" and I go "ooommpppfff" and fall over I was dizzy for a second then got back up and got my gourds but wow, that fence is really strong! Well my mom told me tonight I should see if there is a mark. My upper right hip/lower back muscles are achy. I take a took and right across my very lower back are probably like 6 red lines, kind of like a claw mark but they are close together. My mom is amazed,lol, and I'm surprised. Well at least I'll have an excuse when I fidget all day tomorrow in classes. So a lesson to you all....duck a little lower or turn the fence off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: Stupid electric fence WOw, that is so weird(sad but weird) today while i was down at my hunt club there was an electric fence, that fenced off a horse pasture, and the older guys were telling me to hold on to it(them not know that i have done that before and i like doing that(i think its fun) but neways i bet them 50$ that i would do it, and i did it, once you grab a hold of it, its ok, but if you touch it real quick, thats what hurts. so yea needless to say i made 50$, i hope your okay. You might want to go to the doctor, because if the voltage was too high, then that might cause something to be wrong, just go to the doc just to make sure nothing is wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: Stupid electric fence I touched a electric fence once. So I did it the second time to be sure. So I got somebody else to do it without them realizing it was. I could not stop laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckNrut Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: Stupid electric fence Hope your feeling better TG. This reminds me of the time in college when my rugby teammate electricuted himself standing up a flag pole that contacted the main powerline going into the campus. He passed out after 10 seconds and never came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Re: Stupid electric fence Our garden is/was next to our side pasture, an electric fence runs the west side of the garden. Was tilling the garden back in July on a day I got home from work early, and trying to rush to get some things done, forgot to unplug the charger. No doubt I was grounded good hanging on to a troybilt. Got me pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant-KS Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Re: Stupid electric fence Reminds me of dove hunting at my uncle's place. It's really popular, and alot of guys hunt there. Some haven't missed an opening day there in 36 years. Anyway, there's usually a game warden hunting and checking people there. When we were walking out at sunset, the warden was ahead of us (he was sort of a jerk, which made this even funnier), and crossed the fence at the road while holding his shotgun all the time. I think he tried pushing the fence down with his hand and got shocked. "Here's your sign." Anyway, then he turns to us and says "be careful boys, that fence is hot!" To which I replied "ok" while trying really hard not to say "Yeah, you moron, I just put that up last week, and it checked out at 7,000 volts." My brother and I had a good laugh afterwards.
