The same day we are driving and get to a gate, I hop out to undo the wire part and get zapped! Glad it wasn't the one I was peeing on.

In this case, I have heard that when the fence is angled outwards, it is difficult to scale as you need to be flexible. Wearing cheap jeans is highly recommended, and while it can be done with a jacket, there is usually a cost....ripped jeans and cuts.

Getting out of the fenced in area is easier, or so I have heard.

Barbed wire generally isn't too tough for the average Joe to get around. Razor wire can be.

Used to work on the grounds for the Stampede, and one of the jobs I would get assigned is to fix the fence over by the river/bridge, where folks would always try to cut through or jump over the fence to get onto the grounds for free.

We'd always find bits of cloth stuck on the barbs whenever we'd turn up to fix the fence again.

These days the stampede should keep the wire, and add a "######bag cam" live on the internet for everyone to watch who is trying to cross. Could be good entertainment.
