Even throwing a metal pipe against it won't do anything. Electric fences have one electrode in the ground, and that's how your body makes the circuit. If they had run and jumped onto the fence, then jumped off on the other side they would have been fine with the fences still active.

Source: I've set up an electric fence and been shocked multiple times, once through my head.

Oh yeah everyone knows electricity .

He probably wanted to prevent significant arcing by using a higher impedance test apparatus due to the high voltage.

At least he's smart enough to know you Don't whizz on the electric fence

I always thought that was a piece of fence.

not a phd in physics huh

Idiot didnt know the MAD was 2'2", SMDH.

Considering these fences are enough to take down dinosaurs, it may set the end of the stick on fire from the resistance, so still works?
