I would like to thank Rich for the link. That is exactly what I was looking for.

In response to Mr. Woodgate, I would like to state that I in no way meant to 
imply that I was endorsing the use of animals in electric shock demonstrations. 
My preference is to make use of existing references such as the one provided by 
Mr. Nute. Personally, I thought that the demonstration I participated in was 
excellent. This is where the participants could experience current up to 3.5 mA 
between two fingers on one hand. I remember signing a wavier and I was aware of 
the risks. I expect that I would not be allowed to set up a similar 
demonstration regardless of what wavier I had participants sign. My employer's 
legal department would laugh loudly if I even proposed the idea.

I will also make sure that I get signed consent from each and every hotdog I 
use for demonstrations of pinch and crush hazards.

Hi Ted:


You can download the video here:

The gentleman is Claude Haggard.  I think he lived in Medford, Oregon.  This 
was from a TV show (back in the days of BW TV) he did for Pacific Power to 
alert rural folks to the hazards of electricity.  Mr. Haggard would take his 
show throughout the US, primarily for school children.  I saw him do his show 
in person, probably in the Midwest.

Here is a very brief announcement of his presentation at SOC, March 25, 1955.

You can also see a record of Mr. Haggard presenting to an NFPA committee 
(Chicago) in 1958:

Here is another article and picture about one of his presentations, (Seattle, 
November, 1971):

Enjoy!
Rich

ps:  I used carrots to determine if mechanical impacts would hurt.
