I feel bad for the guy. But what would a sign look like that warned against doing this?

I think I remember reading somewhere that this form of death is too common (and stupid) even for the Darwin Awards.

Not sure, but I’d say “Myth confirmed!”

Yes, Mythbusters “Proved This Couldn’t Happen!!!” Saw the show myself. Someone who knows how should E-mail Mytbusters with this latest one. Soehow, I am a pessimist on this as well.

Shocking, Simply Shocking! I do remember when our dog lifted his leg on the electric fence post. Instant potty training!

As a kid out hunting one time i walked up to a hedgerow to relieve myself and, you guessed it, didn’t see the electric fencer.
Hurt like all get out! Pretty sure they heard my yell the next county over.

I'm wondering about the tourist who thought this was an okay thing to do in a train station. I'd hate to see this guy's hometown train station.
