I was feeding horses at a friends farm one day, it was raining and the ground was soaked and muddy.
I had a heavy bucket of grain in each hand and stepped right near a wooden fence that had an electric wire on it. My foot sank deep into a mud hole and I leaned against the wire, and could not get off of it.
I had touched electric fences many times, but ths was different, the pulsing shocks were much stronger than normal, my heart started skipping beats.
As I tried to get off the wire I thought about all the animals ( deer , rabbits turkey and snakes I had seen dead on and tangled in electric fence wires, and I thought, oh! thats how they all died!
After maybe 10 seconds,- I finally got off that damn wire and my heart was still skipping and I felt very weak and sick to my stomach.
I felt like crap for a couple of days after.
I was only 29 and in good health when this happend.
