Hi Terry,

Appears D. Stampe is occassionaly hired by KVA Effects
for these stunts.Something of interest:
http://discorder.citr.ca/features/02decgwar.html

Excerpt from the article:
''
Danielle:"Well,I work with this company called kVA
that makes giant Tesla coils for theatrical lightning
generation.IOW,we make machines that shoot bolts of
electricity sixty feet long through the air.I do all
kinds of stunts for them,including WEARING ELECTRICAL
UNDERWEAR that lets me channel huge amounts of
electricity through my body that would be otherwise
fatal.I also do this trick where I shoot bolts of
lightning from my fingertips"

Rich:"Like the Emperor in Return of the Jedi"

Danielle:"Exactly.It sometimes happens that I take a
little too much voltage and my heart just kind of
stops.Getting a defibrilallator was the best thing I
ever did"
''
According to her own words she wears  some kind of
partial  "shark suit" that reduces  shocks delivered
by snappy TC power arcs.
Hehehe..
Secret details are being revealed more and more.
Except  gloves and its wiring there's also that
electrical underwear.
Althought,she is not protected completely by the
combination and experience sometimes a heart
fibrillation caused by taking too much power arc
current (not voltage she reffered to) flowing
undesirable body routes.

So much about "hurting a little".

Safe coiling,
Boris
