There’s an electric fence where I volunteer to keep animals out, and apparently it’s quite painful if you accidentally touch it, but not lethal. I constantly have to fight my curiosity to know just how painful it is, so I don’t blame them.
When I was growing up, a neighbor had an electric fence for their dogs, and a bunch of us bored kids would take turns daring each other to touch it. It hurt like hell.
I worked at a dog kennel and they had small wires on top of the fences to dissuade them from going over. Obviously, it had to be tested. It was like a 9volt battery to the body. It guess one could describe it as painful but I found it more weird than anything. 7/10 did it several times.
Interestingly, the people who owned the kennel also raised horses. That fence I touched on accident and it absolutely sucked. Parts of me were also numb for almost a minute. 1/10 do not recommend
From my one experience on my cousin’s farm, it felt like he had given me a solid kick to the ass. I legitimately thought he kicked me in the seat, and asked him why he did it. He said he didn’t, it was the electric fence.
We have hotwires for cows; they’re of varying power. The one we use around the home yard is pretty powerful, puts out like 10kV because it’s used to run about 2 miles of crossfences.
One day I was crossing a fence in the pens, being careful to not touch the wires with my skin (you can step on the wires just fine and lever yourself around on the top of a fencepost). So as I swing my leg over, my foot slips, and I land with my nuts on the top wire. Now, it’s also barbwire, so besides getting my nuts shocked as I land on the wire, I can’t pull myself off the wire because the barbs are in my pants and skin. I managed to kinda roll off the fence, getting jolted every second or so, and when I fall the crotch of my pants rip out and the shocks finally end.
Suffice to say, a fence that keeps cows inside is a little bit much to take when you have electrified barbs stuck in your balls and you can’t pull away.
So that’s my story about getting my testicles fried on a beautiful country day. Fairly sure whatever these students experienced wasn’t a patch on my lovely fence-hop.

Well let me tell you. It’s a lot more painful if you’re barefoot than if you’re in work boots. Either way won’t blow off a finger, though.
I have one of those electric tennis racket fly swatters. More than once we’ve sat around the campfire shocking ourselves for the fun of it
