Some people have been responding to my comment and telling me some things I didn't know, and to them I say "Thank You". There's a reason why I didn't go into any more detail than I did, lol.
Both Adam and Jamie have said that around this season they were sort of encouraged to have spats with each other on the set, because the producers thought reality television was better with it. So a lot of episodes near this era have them squabbling over pointless nonsense, like whether Jamie should have said Adam's idea was stupid or whatever. Pranks were also encouraged. It was a bad idea, and I'm glad that for the most part they've done away with it.
Later on the tv Adam actually said that neither Grant, Tory or Kari took the call but someone else did and thats all you need to know like he said so he didnt want to say who, i guess the director or so.
@cabbievonbump Don't anger Adam, or you may never be seen alive again! :P Still, that sounds a bit unlike Adam, even if he was mad about it...I don't know. I guess if they had to fire someone, the people on screen would be the least likely to go.
@redpoopsicle Not sure what episode, but I'd guess close to the beginning of season 2. I think Grant was there at the end of season 2 and Tory/Kari/Scottie team wasn't there in season 1.. Not positive though.
A producer on the show at the time made them do that to Adam. I saw an interview with Adam he said the producer forced them to hook up the electric fence thing and do it but the producer got fired not long after that.
I recently saw on one of adams videos on FORA tv he was asked about this prank, and said it was actually the former producers idea. went into a little detail about it. Besides the voltage and amperage surprise is going to make it that much more painful, going through the chest, and then emotional anger on top of it. He said and i agree, that it was the low point of the show. Pranks like that shouldn't be done... or should be done with lower amps.
You can receive a shock with 100,000 volts but if the amperage exceeds 0.1 A you're already in trial for a heart stoppage, 1 A is enough to stop a regular human being heart.
Just for curiosity, electrical showers runs on 12 A, so its 12 deaths, neither cats survive this!
I think almost everyone here may need a lesson on electricity. Yes 10,000 volts is a lot, but volts is not the only thing that matters, the amperage makes difference as well. Another thing that matters is if it is alternating current, which is what run throughout your house in lights, switches, ect. or if it is direct current, such as a car battery, which is definitely the less favorable of the two.
@rrockerdude113 wait a second...... DC current is WORSE than AC!?!?! Are you sure? Because I could swear it's the opposite... I mean a varying current causes more damage than a constant one wouldn't it? It's one thing for the electrons to go smoothly through and another for them to go left-right left-right a few hundred times a second!!! So?...
@bbphnix I'm by no means an expert on this, but I do know one reason that DC is worse in situations like this is that DC would make the muscles in one's hands contract more strongly and then not let go.
@rrockerdude113 True. Amperage is the amount of electrons running through something at once. If you get 70 mA through your body, you're dead. But if you get 6 mA through your heart, you're also dead. What Adam got through his body would be about 20 mA to 30 mA or so: you'll get a severe shock, but you won't die or get a heartattack.
@BvOBart You are of course assuming that the power output the device is rated for is actually accurate. In my experience, transformers are rarely rated accurately. Especially for electric fences. There's less stringency on electric fences because they're almost always have a bunch of signs posted and the animals they're intended to fence in aren't going about touching them in ways that cause the current to pass through the heart.
Short version is that in my experience, the danger is still real.
@rrockerdude113 but dc current isnt really less powerful than ac. It just always turns out that way because dc sources are pretty much always less powerful. 10,000v ac is the same as 10,000v dc. And besides Im guessing that thing just charges a capacitor that discharges when you touch it so its not really dc or ac. correct me if Im wrong, im not trying to argue Im just trying to learn.
@rrockerdude113 i would say dc is worse because its a steady flow as ac acterally turns of in between it hz ... and i always say volts hert amps kill and frequency annihilates
It's true that the amperage is what determines what can kill you, but It is somewhat misleading. The amperage is directly related to the voltage. Afrotechmods has a good video about it.
And with your reaction you prove that you are an idiot who would probably do that to your own friends. If there is someone on this show who can take a joke and does the painful stuff it is Adam. Besides if them tricking him into it it is painful and there is a healthrisk, too. Hell, I once accidentally touched the electrical cords of a removed light switch. It was nowhere near 10.000 volts but hurt like hell and I couldn't move my arm for some minutes.

@rrockerdude113
why dont explain simple?
volts hurts but cant kill, amperage is the killing one.
100.000.000.000 volts will hurt but dont kill
100 ampere will make your blood boil and kill you in a very short time
