The AC frequency is also important. The only way people tend to die from electricity is heart faliure rather than roasting to death. 60Hz is the most leathal frequency for stopping someone's heart. If you use something like 10Mhz there is very little risk to your heart, but you might get some burt skin if the power is high.

Reminds me a physics lecture. One part of it was hands-on experiment with 2A and ... 2GHz (? i think) and some electrical devices ... and students as wires. From my own experience - you wont feel a thing. Lots of fun. (directly connecting the "wires" is not advisable tho - use metal objects [or risk some minor burns])
Don't try that at home :rolleyes:. ....

Yeah. A single strand will burn a mark on a little girls nose when she is reaching for puppies in a pen. Why the hell would anyone fence puppies when they know kids are coming to visit? That's like baiting a field before dove season. Idiots. Electric fences should require a competency test. This guy=fail.

I thought that electric fences typically used 1-2Hz? At least that's what mine felt like.

Ideally. But you can turn them up for extra pants shitting action.

Neat! You can actually see the bolt sear across the fence.
Now where did I put my Force Lightning discharging gloves...

Surely there are laws against having electric fences that would be fatal to humans, aren't there? I grew up in rural Canada and I'm quite sure there are legal limits on how much power can run through the lines.
I once jumped down into a ditch not knowing there was an electric fence (it was dusk, and the grass was long). I landed right on it, sending 5000V through me. It felt like I'd been hit on the head with a hammer, and someone had dislocated both my legs. But after a few moments of extreme discomfort, the effects passed and I ended up joining everyone else in laughing at it.
Other fun "farm games" include telling city people that if you join hands in a chain and one person touches the fence, the only person to receive a shock is the one at the other end of the chain. It's not true; the person touching the fence receives a huge jolt, which is passed on (but diminishes) to the next few people in the line.

Ah...reminds of doing electrical work with my grandpa. Nothing too complex. Just running wires through walls and changing outlets.
My grandpa would always forget what outlets were off and which ones were on.
He once told me that a certain one was off so, being the trusting person that I am, I began changing it.
I pulled it out of the wall and began tinkering.
Naturally I received an electric shock.
The best way I can describe the sensation is that it suddenly felt like a million people grabbed me all at once. It scared me more than it actually hurt.
Needless to say, I carried a tester with me wherever I went after that. :)

I recommend not peeing on them, also.
Trust me.
