Today, my friend's 11 year old son accidentally shocked himself with our electric fly swatter. Thirty seconds later, while trying to prove to him that it's physically impossible to shock yourself with it, and that it's perfectly safe, I did the exact same thing. FML

Really? An electric fly swatter won't shock something if you hit it against anything? I guess its lucky your hands weren't wet.

What. The. **** is an electric fly swatter? Dose it shoot lightning at the fly because your too damn lazy to hit it? I mean really? Whats next, the electric pop can? It vibrates in your hand so your hand stays warm?

It's about half the size of a tennis raquet and the same shape. Where the string ona tennis raquet should be is a few metal grids. When you turn it on, electricity runs through the grids which electrocutes stuff on contact. More effective than normal fly swattets, too. And more fun.

Hmm....you thought a device that's specifically designed to produce electric shocks couldn't shock you? "Pat, I'd like to buy a clue for $500."

am i the only person who notices the obvious here? You SAW, with your own eyes, an 11 year old boy accidentally shock himself with a fly swatter. yet you then attempted to prove it was impossible. did it never cross your mind that obviously IT IS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE IT DID HAPPEN!! or did u think u were hallucinating?

The op does not say that OP saw it happen. If anything the kid said he shocked himself and OP did not believe him, which is why op was attempting to prove that it was impossible..

Before you declare something physically impossible, go learn some physics.

op this is a double ydi. the first one for being a dumb **** and getting shocked after someone else just proved it was possible. the second ydi is for wasting our time with this "fml" post. next time try proving you can't get shocked by touching the metal on jumper cables attached to a car battery...

Uhhhh...how did you think electric fly swatters worked? That they're somehow able to differentiate between a human hand and a fly? Dumbass. YDI.
