Only thing I can add to this “sticking” to DC is... when I was about 16 I was at Ellesmere Port station when 3 happy dogs wondered onto the tracks for a good sniff around. I immediately knew it was going to end badly and quite soon one of the dogs touched the live rail and stuck to it like glue!! It screamed! It didn’t Yelp or bark weird, it screamed like a human would! Then the electricity was cut for a
Few seconds (ECO probably reset it, they do it 3 times I think). Then as the dog went to get up it was sucked back down to the rail
Again as the power came back on and the ordeal started again!! At this point I could take no more and jumped down on the tracks and imitated kicking the dog (not actually kicking it, just trying to scare it (no trains were coming, but I wouldn’t have cared anyway, the driver would have seen me and stopped, again, wouldn’t have cared if they didn’t, I couldn’t bare to see this happening))
the power was cut again and the dog got um immediately and ram away without any use of its back legs and that’s the last I saw of it.
so yeah, it’s dangerous, there’s a massive chance it’ll kill you or leave you with massive injury’s.
DONT PISS ABOUT WITH IT.
