1. An electric shock safety device comprising:
- (a) a housing;
(b) a telescoping probe disposed within said housing, said telescoping probe having a first and second electrode disposed at one end thereof;
(c) a high voltage power supply disposed within said housing, said high voltage power supply being electrically connected to said first and second electrode; and
(d) means for releasing said telescoping probe from said housing whereby said telescoping probe is extended by an extension spring;
wherein said means for releasing said telescoping probe from said housing comprises a spring loaded safety cover and a release latch, said release latch being connected to a release arm and a conductive strip, said release arm being connected to a release and energizer button, and said conductive strip being connected to an extendible wire which is connected to said first and second electrode,and wherein said release arm is electrically engaged with said high voltage power supply when said release and energizer button is depressed, whereby electric potential from said high voltage power supply flows through said release arm, said release latch, said conductive strip and said extensible wire to supply high voltage power to said first and second electrode.
