The story
In a video posted to the official X account of five-member idol group “ENKA GIRLS REVOLUTION” on October 2, 2026, member Mai Suzuha was seen touching an electric fence meant to ward off wild animals and getting shocked. The incident sparked concern among fans. On 5ch, opinions split between those who said “that’s just a normal, laughable thing in the countryside” and those who warned “electric fences have caused fatal accidents before, so this shouldn’t be brushed off.” As the thread went on, the conversation branched into reminiscing about pro wrestling’s electrified barbed-wire death matches and past on-air accidents.

What people said
I'd like to see some normal entertainment news too.
Even if the voltage is high, if the current is low it's fine
So looking at voltage alone doesn't tell you much
When Onita challenged him to an electrified deathmatch, Inoki played dumb and dodged it, saying 'electricity's good for stiff shoulders.'
The wire on an electric fence needs to maintain at least 5,000V (minimum 3,000-4,000V) so animals properly learn to associate it with pain.
Voltage basics
• Output voltage: The unit's max output is typically a high 6,000V-10,000V.
• Safety: As explained in Kyowa Techno's electric fence safety guide, because the current comes as a split-second pulse (a few thousandths of a second), it's designed to deliver an extremely low amount of electricity that poses no risk to human or animal life.
It's honestly just funny
Out in the countryside, kids get zapped by these all the time
Do you think an electric fence hits like a stun gun? It's not nearly that strong.
Licking a 9V battery gives you that tingly, tasty feeling

No matter how high the voltage, the actual power involved is tiny
This is ridiculous
A parent and child who'd come to play in the river got electrocuted by a wire dangling into the water and both died
The old man who'd set up the fence later killed himself too
You can't hook these up to household power, that's just not okay
I heard the kid who was hurt in that got severe burns on their fingers that ended up severed
Still
Makes you wonder what happened to their safety checks, lol lol lol
Background and Key Points of Debate
Electric fences used for pest control apply voltage in the thousands of volts to teach animals to associate them with pain, but the actual current only flows in a split-second pulse, so the amount of electricity involved is designed to be small. The thread included a technical note pointing out that “even if the voltage is high, the danger is low if the current is low,” showing that judging risk by voltage alone is a common misunderstanding. At the same time, users shared past cases where fences were illegally modified — wired directly into household power without authorization — that did result in fatal accidents, a point easy to overlook since safety depends heavily on whether proper, certified equipment is used. The thread split between those who saw this as “just an everyday, laughable thing in the countryside” and those who argued “past fatal accidents mean this shouldn’t be dismissed so lightly,” reflecting differing views on how far the risks of electric fences can be generalized.
