Mr. Wizard one of our resident experts says "pounding ground stakes is just plain nuts". Guess he needs some additional electroshock therapy to help change his mind. Or see an ambulance carry a corpse off (that was a very kind older lady) in a campground in Guaymas, Sonora.
Or the ship's carpenter who arrived early on The Polar Star and connected L3 to a lateral looking to power his woodworking tools. The trawler was on the hard supported by 18X18's and all welding leads were locked up. The only thing that saved his *!*!*!*! was a wooden ladder. When the shipfitters arrived one of them let fall a long piece of angle between earth and hull. The results were dramatic. It tripped a three phase 200 amp breaker. There was a lot of screaming going on in that yard. The owner scabbed a s**** angle iron between hull and several feet deep in the sand in the yard.
Lately, jolts lay me up in bed with a irregular heart rhythm - sometime for days. My cardiologist says shocks for his patients with pacemakers is absolutely to be avoided. For me with 2nd degree heart block, it can lead to total heart block. When giving general advice about shock, it is sorta nice to consider some folks are more vulnerable than others. Years ago I got stupid around 480. It felt like someone bent a piece of 1" re-bar over the top of my head. I was unable to stand for 10+ minutes. I am afraid of electricity :)
