Is an electric fence dangerous?

The short answer

A properly installed electric fence is designed to deter, not harm: the energizer sends short, sharp pulses with gaps in between, so a person can let go. What keeps it safe is a proper energizer (never a homemade one), clear warning signs, correct earthing and a professional installation.
