Why yes, you can.

From a German collection of 30 illustrations showing how you can die from electrocution. Uplifting.

Living on/near farms, you definitely learn not to pee on an electrical fence. Not enough volts to kill you, but it’ll make you move… from what I hear anyway.

Thats funny, I remember Mythbusters did an episode on this and despite Jaime’s best efforts he couldn’t get it to happen. Myth busted.
