So if you have been drinking it's not that easy. I didn't have a blanket or a jacket but it shortened my walk home so I hopped the fence. The problem comes in when try to grab the barb wire portion because it is pretty slack. So when you try to swing a leg over your hands shift, you lose your balance and fall head first over the fence likely knocking yourself out.
My stomach went into the barbs on the fence creating 4 two or three inch long cuts. Probably should have got stitches and a shot but I was drunk. I just kept walking home. Still have the scars. The worst part was I was now inside the barb wire field and had to get out. I managed to use the locked gate to climb over on other side which didn't have the barb wire on top.
So remember don't drink and climb barb wire fences.
