There's an insulator visible in the preview shot, and despite wobble cam I grabbed this:
Enhance!
But I agree with you asking WTF it ended up caught in any fence. They are just incompetent MAMILs with shit for brains, giving mountain bikers a bad name whilst out on their hilarious jaunts.

That looks far more like a cable tensioner to me...
And I'd expect to see insulators anywhere the conductor touches any form of support...

It's not a Gripple, or anything like that, it's a cheap plastic insulator.
The whole set up looks typical of a farmer with a "that'll do" attitude.
I've done a fair bit of fencing over the years.

10,000 volts is the maximum allowed under international agreements apparently, but only 120 mA
They are usually pulsed (presumably to allow capacitors to charge and discharge), and I can vouch for the belt they give you.
Have a look on YouTube for a few people getting zapped. In my experience if you properly grab the wire then you get a good unpleasant wallop, but it's perfectly manageable.
