Lets tell our stories about being shocked... I'm sure there are some Swarmers who have been lifted more than me, but I just had the most painful shock of my life, I'm still hurting as I type... so I thought I would share...
Prior to this event I have had two other major shocks, mostly from childhood stupidity. 1) I tried to swing from a bar that they use over top of cows in a cow pen, not realizing it was slightly electrified to keep the cows from freaking out... 2) I used to hide my money when I was a kid, by unscrewing the face plate off my wall light switch and shocked myself pretty good, the last time I tried getting my money out of there...
Fuck my ears feel like they are bleeding... They aren't...
So I had given a friend an old cell phone today for his girlfriend... I was sitting here at my laptop typing away, had my headphones on (I always do while swarming in case of good vids).
My friend walked across the office carpet to give me the phone so I could perform the master reset to wipe the data and when he passed me the phone, I got the worst jolt of static electricity I have ever felt, my arm flexed on the phone and I felt a jolt from ear through to the other ear and my earphones made a loud SNAP noise... My friend backed away slowly as he also heard the loud electrical snap.... As I moaned and held my head... He laughed uncontrollably...
Please... Share your stories... I'm going to lay down...

I was working in the circuit breaker panel on a Gulfstream jet. Behind the ear I got hit with 120vac 400hz. That shit spun my wheels for about an hour. Moral of the story? Remove power from the plane when doing this shit y0!

Used to mow the lawn with a lawn mower that was a moterized version of the old push mowers. It has a kill switch that basically grounded the spark plug. Well, I flipped it by hand one day to turn off the motor. The zap made my head feel fuzzy and I could have swarn my hair was standing on end. |

When I was a bit more than 1 year old, I cut the electical cord for a lamp with all-steel scissors. There was a loud bang, and a giant ball lightning emerged from the scissors, and I flew back flat on my ass. The tips of the scissors were missing and, as it turned out, molten into the carpet.
I had a professor who was changing a lightbulb in the garage, got zapped, and felt _really good_ for the rest of the week. Now he voluntarily messes with that lightbulb until he gets zapped, on a Sunday of any given week.

Slipping it into the wrong hole any chance I get  SSHOLEPosts: 884 Registered: 10/20/2004 Offline

Back in art class, a few buddies of mine had a contest to see who could stick there finger inside the hole where the lightbulb goes on a desk lamp for the longest time. A few buddies stuck there finger in, got a nice jolt, screamed and pulled out. When it was my turn, I just happened to do it while my other hand was holding a metal ceiling beam and jolted the living fuck out of me. I peed a nice squirt of piss in my pants. That shit hurt, bad.
About 6 months ago I was working on a ceiling fan while the power was on and accidentally hit the live wire. It hurt, but startled me more than anything.

I grabbed both the hot and the neutral lead on a 277 V lighting circuit after the electricians had assured me that the fixtures had been disconnected and that the breaker was off. It seemed like an eternity had passed before I let go of the wires, it didn’t seem to hurt from what I recall. I was sent to the hospital for an ECG and I had a spacey feeling for a few hours afterward, other than that no damage done. I use a volt pen now when ever I have to do anything near wiring.

I reached into a timer box in the dark while soaking wet, and hit a bare live 100amp wire with my index finger of my right hand, it went through my arm across my chest and out a hole in my shoe. Apparently, according to a sparky buddy I should be ded but being a chub rockin' ogre saved me. Hurt extremely bad for a minute or two but I also got the "not quite right in the head" for the rest of the day.

one summer my brother and i were babysat by neighbors that owned a farm. i can't remember how old i was... probably mid-elementary. they had a weedburner (?), one of the strongest electric fences you can get. my brother and i were fucking around one day and trying to shock an earthworm on the fence. neither of us knew about grounding at that point, but the worm hung on the fence and seemed fine. so i grabbed it and it felt like my whole arm was put in a really painful blood pressure cuff.
also, i was helping my dad install a new phone and i needed to strip some insulation off the line. i had assumed he unhooked us, so i went to strip it with my teeth. pow, right in the kisser.

Once when i was a kid i stuck a screwdriver in an outlet out of curiosity. Strangely, I only felt a pulsating throbbing sensation. It was enough to learn me though. |

Way back when i was doing a payphone coin return test. Got hit with the 130 VDC return pulse. Shit stuck to me for what felt like an eternity. I have been hit with ac many times, DC hurt. I think the ac gives you time to release. DC stuck me still. My bones in my arm ached for a few hours.
Since then I hate AC/DC

Being a motor mechanic, I've had the 27,000 volt kick from the plug leads a few times, but the worst I have had came from a washing machine.
When the washer stopped before it should, I naturally went to check it out. When I got to it, I found the power lead lying on the floor, with all the wires exposed, as if the plug had been removed from the cable. I picked them up. I am an IDIOT. The Staffordshire Terrier had chewed through the cable and walked away. No yelps, no barks, no indication at all that this dog had just had 240 volts AC running through its system. It still had its dopey grin on its face and was actually sitting in the doorway watching me.
And laughing.

I must have been 12 or 13, when out with a buddy roaming the countryside, in search of reptiles, amphibians, and bugs, we encountered an electric fence.
My buddy was really afraid of it, and I told him it was nothing. He said. "Then touch it."
Since the electric fence was of the animal containment pulse varirety, and not the inmate incinerating varietey, when I touched it, there was nothing immediate so I grabbed it firmly. It started electrocuting me, but in pulses. So between pulses, I said, "See? It's not even on." He says, "Yes it is!" I say, "Wanna bet?" (all the while holing on to the fence) He says, "A quarter." I say, "Done." and I hold out my hand to shake on it.
His fuking eyes were as big as pies when the current hit him. I held on as long as I could while he alternately made gulping/groaning/gurgling noises during the pulse, and screaming at me during the pauses. Fuk! I couldn't contain my glee!
When I let go of him and the fence, I could hardly breathe from the electrocution I had been experiencing, and the LOL fest I was possesed by. That's when my buddy took the opportunity to punch me in the face, so I had to beat him and toss him into the cow pond.
^Proof I am the messiah.

By the way, NEVER agree to a drunken challenge to pee into the power outlet.
NEVER.
Especially if you are so drunk that you must hold on to a metal heat radiator in order not to fall.

When I was little and had no sense.
I took a wizz on an electric fence.
It hurt so bad, it shocked my balls.
It made me crap in my overalls. |
