riddler 0 #3 October 17, 2007 What the heck is an electric 8-way? Keep in mind if there's ever jumps involving kiss-passes, I'm usually NOT invited Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #4 October 17, 2007 I agree. Have seen it done at a few skydiver parties. But on the other hand, maybe i need shock therapy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #5 October 17, 2007 Saw a Black Knight brazenly do an electric solo. When we thought he had done enough dancing and stuttering, we pulled the plug. BK: Don't EVER let me do that again!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

CSpenceFLY 1 #7 October 17, 2007 Just get in while the group is large. You'll be fine. We have not killed anyone yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #8 October 17, 2007 Everybody just laughs and says it tingles. Probably not a good idea to mess with the human electrical system. People do a lot of things I'll never understand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSpenceFLY 1 #11 October 17, 2007 So you put yourself into the same group that thinks your nuts for skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamajumps 0 #12 October 17, 2007 QuoteSo you put yourself into the same group that thinks your nuts for skydiving. Nope I can justify skydiving, thats all me, I do it for me and no one else. But sending electricity thru my body just for the pure amusement of the drunk on-lookers...I'll pass.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peek 21 #13 October 17, 2007 QuoteElectric 8 way, etc. What could possibly go wrong? :) You're not getting me in there, but I have seen a lot of them. It's OK unless someone has a heart condition they don't know about or something like that. I have seen it get down to three people, which doesn't seem very wise to me. And if you are the person holding the "hot" end of the circuit, please don't get so drunk that you fall down and put your other hand on the damp concrete floor.

DougH 270 #14 October 17, 2007 I been one of the drunken participants in a 2 way. It was a face off to see who would let go first, but the plug was pulled, and we probably were to screwed up to let go anyway. Other then sore shoulders the next day I felt great, and it didn't kill the coked up old dude either, so it can't be that horible for you. Maybe I am just sick, but the best part is when you are holding up one end and the guy on the other end is some you you know. Reach accross and touch them when they aren't paying attention.

skymama 37 #15 October 17, 2007 Quote We have not killed anyone yet. "Yet" being the operative word there. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #16 October 17, 2007 I think those were his exact words when I fell down and pretended to have passed out... "Get up I haven't killed any one yet..." I can't remember if he kicked me or not while I was down there. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
micduran 0 #17 October 17, 2007 If you get in early while the group is large like Spence said it isn't so bad. I did my one and only at the Hog Flop last year. I got out when there were still 5 people in there. No harm to me. That I know of at least. On the other hand taking advice Spence can become VERY expensive. Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peregrinerose 0 #19 October 17, 2007 Oooh, electric 8 ways are fun! I was in the final 2 both times I did it And I had my boobie zapped as part of it, felt kinda neat actually. One guy had his balls grabbed a couple of times as part of it... remember that, Spence?? Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J_Cook 0 #23 October 17, 2007 An electric 8-way is no worse than putting a 9-volt battery on your tongue. It's only when it gets down to 2-4 that it gets interesting. Even then, the amps are so low that theres not much danger in doing it. Your muscles clench up, whoopty-doo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
