You do make sure you go to the bathroom before "taking the ride". Every muscle in your body tightens, so it doesn't happen very often, but once in a while.

Pass.

I don't need to get shot with a taser to find out it hurts, any more than I need to get shot with a bullet to find out it will kill me.

That's what I said. Just like I don't have to get hit with a baton to know it hurts.

Being macho tough is one thing, but getting tased on purpose might just make me want to become a kindergarten teacher instead of a Taser Instructor.

My son went through that and showed us the video. It was very similar to yours. Nobody was standing after being tased and he went last. His remarks were... "After being tased and you regain your senses somewhat you are very compliant. Yes sir, just don't do that to me again, anything you say sir." The little barbs are wicked too. Less than one week after his class he had to use the taser on a not so friendly guy that thought he would take out several armed officers with a knife. For some reason I got the feeling the guy with knife was looking to end it. In that case the taser was much more friendly.
