That snapping of the fence.
Oh man that must be a brutal fucking fence.
TIL they call off-road bikes with big tires simply "fat bikes"
Touching an electric fence is really, really unpleasant. It doesn't hurt, but you feel it tense up all your muscles in a wave and it makes you feel sick. I remember thinking it would just hurt, but it doesn't hurt that much.
I'd have taken my shoes off and used them as gloves. No way the electricity would pass through that.

wouldn't bet on it if they were wet/moist. since it seemed like it must've been raining earlier. I think that's why they were still getting shocked when they touched the tires
Even if it was wet, if my hands are inside my shoes and are dry, it's still not gonna transfer to me.
just grab it hard

the better your connection to it the lower the resistance and thus the lower the voltage
The way most security electric fences work though is they are pulse high voltage low current because current is what kills people.

Doesn't matter. It's still not going to be enjoyable.
its just a light throbbing

I remember it as feeling like getting punched in the shoulder and stunning me for a tick. I don't understand how people just scream as if it simply hurts.
Get the owner of the farm to temporarily turn off the fence? They've already mangled the thing and should tell him anyway.
Take of jacket
Use jacket as nonconductive barrier on the steering bar
Lift bike out of fence with no problems

where's the banter in that, lad?

It's already shocking them through their gloves, what difference would a jacket make?

Chances are the gloves aren't waterproof and are wet. That's what's causing them to get shocked. If they had something impermeable to water and dry, they'd be fine.

Actually what kills someone is depend on both voltage and current.

When I was little I tried climbing over an electric fence - mostly because I didn't know it was electric. I was so confident I grabbed it with both hands, and the result was I couldn't let go because as you said, the muscles tensed up. I was just shaking violently for a few seconds until I kinda jolted back onto the ground. It didn't hurt, it was just really, really uncomfortable and easily the scariest fucking thing of my childhood.

I couldn't scream when I got shocked, but I wanted to. Not because it hurt, but because it was absolutely terrifying :vs:

Lol no. Voltage is equal the magnitude of the current multiplied by the magnitude of the electrical resistance between the wire and their hand(i.e their gloves or the sticks they were holding). The equation for this is V=I*R where I is current and R is resistance. So given the assumption that the resistance doesn't change it can be determined that a higher current means higher voltage

What they should have been trying to do is insulate themselves from the ground. What I would have done is collected a bunch of dead branches into a pile and then stood on the pile while I worked on freeing the bike. Wood has a fair amount of resistance which is partly why you don't get electrocuted when you touch a telephone pole. The problem is that since the wood is wet you would have to make a pretty tall pile for this to work which is why telephone poles are so tall.

My dad has a live wire that sits on top of his pasture fence to deter the horses from trying to jump the fence. It snaps like that every second on the dot. It hurts but isn't as strong as the snapping sound makes it seem

Just like in France, nobody uses the word "stylo" (literally "stylus") for "pen" anymore. The popular slang is now "le Bic" because of Bic pens.

I remember just grabbing electric fences then shaking hands with people. They would get jolted but I'd be fine.
I originally learned this because my friends dad did it to me, then explained how it works. I don't remember how it works.

It's not a brand name. It was a trademark back in the early 2000s but nowadays its no more of a brand name than "mountain bike". It's just a type of bike. A lot of major manufacturers make them and call them fat bikes, and they most certainly got popular before they made it to the big box stores.

There's almost no such thing as "waterproof" gloves anyway. Most waterproof gloves just happen to have impermeable fabric, yeah sure the water doesn't come in from the fingers but the water does and will come in from the big opening around your wrists, and no tucking them in your shirt won't prevent that either. Not to mention, whats good at keeping water away is also good at storing water so any liquid that might have seeped into their gloves would stay in there making it much more uncomfortable.
And due to the high voltage nature of electric fences I'm pretty sure there's more than enough pd for the electricity to travel all the way up to the wrists.
