The elaborated answer was : My parents and I were in Austria and we had just gone up a ski lift and I was really small so I didn’t know that the fence was an electrical fence so I grabbed onto it with two hands and I got shocked and my parents rushed over to make sure I was ok (I was perfectly fine) and we all were just lying in the snow laughing.
