What happens if someone touches an electric fence?
It is difficult to find a recorded incident in which it can be shown beyond reasonable doubt that a correctly designed and operated impulse electric fence energiser has caused a fatality. Invariably when an incident occurs many other factors are involved. Secondary effects from a fence contact, someone falling, jerking back and hitting someone else, are likely worst case incidents associated with such a fence contact. It should be remembered that barbed or razor wire is significantly more hazardous due to the permanent physical damage possible with these products.
