Clip taken from UK Show, Brainiac, Season 1 Episode 4.
Electric Fence Experiment
Richard Hammond shows the Brainiacs how fun Electricity can be.
Also, yes, if you are in the air when the electricity goes through, you don't get a shock. You don't get shocked if the circuit (box to fence to person to ground to box) doesn't complete.
On top of that, the end where he ALMOST shakes Hammond's hand, he doesn't. Also, the slight gap in time between feet hitting ground and the shock can be attributed to the 1-2 second delay caused by the fence not being constantly on.
1st Song: Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six
2nd Song: Some sort of mix of Electric Avenue.

I've heard that John S. McCain, our mighty former POW, is light on economic intelligence but also doesn't know much about this sort of science. Apparently, he doesn't want to learn. This was an excellent opportunity. Well, if he ever changes his mind and suddenly wants to empathize with Guantanamo detainees or the previous life experiences of the meat on his plate ...
Your soulmate does recommend it, John. Ask her for more details. She knows some moose fence where you can study some science.

These poor souls. Taking a shock across your heart (several times, no less) can cause serious medical problems including arrhythmia and death. I recommend that nobody tries this experiment and that the brainiacs sue BBC for damages.

Not sure how well suing for something you volunteer to do works out. I didn't see Hammond holding a gun to them.
