A New Hampshire high school student used a nipple clamp to zap himself with an electrical shock and may have “permanent brain damage” and will now sue. It happened at school and he blames the teacher, and claims the school should warn of the dangers of electricity and nipple clamps.

Kyle Dubois is the student and he will sue teacher Thomas Kelley (the teacher has resigned) and the school. The accident happened in shop class.

School superintendent John O’Connor said 18-year-old Kyle Dubois was working on circuitry when he was shocked. He is a student in the electrical trade program at Dover High. Dubois, a junior and a standout hockey player, was handling alligator clips to build the circuits when at least 90 volts surged through his body.

He was knocked unconscious. “The student immediately passed out, went to the floor, our staff, the teacher, a student that was involved immediately started to perform CPR,” said O’Connor. Kyle Dubois was rushed to the hospital.”

According to his parents, the teacher did not warn Kyle and other students how badly hurt they could be by electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trade class.

The lawsuit, already filed, says “teacher Thomas Kelley encouraged Kyle to shock himself, even offering a Mountain Dew in exchange for doing so.”

The teacher denies offering the soda for the shock. Several students say one of Kyle’s friends dared him to place the alligator clips on his nipples, “they thought it would be funny”.

No word yet on whether charges will be filed against the teacher.
