Hi,

You could encase yourself in a special conductive suit as many of the stunt 
professionals do.

But most of the past performers have counted on simply NOT screwing up.  It 
is sort of like tight rope walking without a net.  A lot of people have 
done it and the ones that are still alive have never made a mistake 
;-)  The ones that have made a mistake are dead...

Go to the very bottom where Dean tells about "tense moments with high voltage".

Not sure who does this stunt at the moment.  Dean Ortner and Danielle 
Stampe are on TV now and then (Ripley's Belive It, Or Not).  Brent Turner 
also doe it now and then.  Robert Krampf probably still does too.  The four 
of them probably have like 100 years of total experience at it...


Cheers,

         Terry
