Be Afraid. The dangers associated with Electric Shock are 100% real. It kills and injures thousands each year. Yet in the last 100 years we've corralled its power to create marvelous devices. In this episode we'll explore the stunning ways that electric shocks occur - from lethal prison fences to the slippery shock of an Electric Eel. We'll watch as daring electric linesmen climb onto 500,000 volt power lines 200 feet above the air; then a lightning survivor recounts what it's like to take a million volt blast; while the CEO of Taser International actually volunteers to take a hit to demo the latest wave in crime-fighting technology.
