“Teen Who Zapped Nipples During Shop Class Sues”

Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 31 August 2010 10:19 AM


There’s a great headline in the New Hampshire Union Leader this morning: “Teen Who Zapped Nipples During Shop Class Sues.” Apparently, the 18-year-old boy and his parents are suing his school because the boy’s shop teacher didn’t properly warn “students how badly hurt they could be by electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class.”

The boy’s heart stopped beating after attaching an alligator clamp to his nipple and connecting another one to a friend during class. They each received a 3-second jolt. The teacher had apparently encouraged the experiment, even offering the boy a Mountain Dew for his daring. The teacher told he was talking to another student about his fantasy baseball team when the accident occurred.
