Not so many years ago, this is the sort of thing you would expect to hear about happening in a suburb south of the Bridge. And not so many years before that, it would have happened in a completely different country! |

| 875010 | 2010-04-15 11:18:00 | Well I've been hit by 240v mains before, and that wasn't nice. Can't imagine a taser is any better. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 875011 | 2010-04-17 01:31:00 | Have you seen that email that went around of the guy in the states that bought his wife a personal taser for her birthday, he was wondering how two little triple AA batteries would be effective so decided to test it on hiomself first...... If I can find the email, might repost it into here, whether it is true or not, it is a laugh a minute.....which we need in this world to keep us all sane, a good laugh once in a while. This would be the one that you read. Google "how not to test a taser". Not real but humorous. lol. |

We found some sort of electricians equipment with a crank on it once,gave it a test. Think we saw it hit 50v while cranking,not pleasant Also if you have heart arrythmia or palpitations who knows you might not live anymore-it all depends where the spikes land too. Its just like any tool, used appropriately it could save lives. used like the US police use it, ie all the time on young and old with no accountability...another matter. |

Think we saw it hit 50v while cranking,not pleasant Commonly known as a 'Megger' insulation tester and they output 500 or 1000 volts, depending on model and setting. The 50 you saw was X10. Won't kill you though, just gives you a fright. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

My brother took up mobile yodelling and cross-country break dancing simultaneously with finding that the stream did not break up anywhere near enough. Even as a five year old he was surprisingly nimble. Not only that, he beat mythbusters to the test by over 60 years. Maybe they don't make streams like they used to? Or electric fence units are getting weaker, it was a brand new Wolsley mechanical-break unit with a habit of zapping more people than livestock. |
