Even throwing a metal pipe against it won't do anything. Electric fences have one electrode in the ground, and that's how your body makes the circuit. If they had run and jumped onto the fence, then jumped off on the other side they would have been fine with the fences still active.

Considering these fences are enough to take down dinosaurs, it may set the end of the stick on fire from the resistance, so still works?
