Even throwing a metal pipe against it won't do anything. Electric fences have one electrode in the ground, and that's how your body makes the circuit. If they had run and jumped onto the fence, then jumped off on the other side they would have been fine with the fences still active.

Source: I've set up an electric fence and been shocked multiple times, once through my head.

You're assuming the dinosaur fence operates on the same principal as a regular livestock electric fence. I put it to you that the Dino enclosures use alternating positive and negative stringer wires, where touching one won't do anything, but touching two will make a short circuit.

Oh yeah everyone knows electricity won't go through wood.

Anything conducts electricity if there is enough of it.

It looks so easy, and it is easy, but then it kills you.

Considering these fences are enough to take down dinosaurs, it may set the end of the stick on fire from the resistance, so still works?
