When the little boy is on the soon-to-be-energized fence, and the music builds, because we know that Junior is going to be toast soon...but then, if he's blown off the fence like that, wouldn't the same thing happen to birds on electric wires? Where is the path to ground here? When he's on the fence, he's the same potential as the fence. Only if he steps to the ground while still holding the wire will the circuit be completed and the current allowed to flow...(though I agree with some who think that would have been a good thing)
