Eeeegads the electrical courses this year. They definitely were not joking about the whole 10,000 volts thing.
This one is a fun one. Sense the sarcasm people.
It's wires hanging over a bunch of water that you get to crawl through on your belly, trying to stay so low as to avoid the wires. They hang to just above the surface of the water and you can hear it SNAP when the electricity goes through the wire and you feel a sensation that is a mix of a nasty bee sting, a hard rubber band snap and a muscle contraction all at the same time.
I wore one of those beauties to the back, where the small pack I had on did not protect me. Since I have in fact endured a bad bee sting, a rubber bullet shot, a rubber band snap and a muscle contraction (Charlie horse anyone?), it wasn't my favourite thing but I got through to the other side and rolled free of the water basin to get out of the way of the other poor fools trying to break free.
