600 people a year are killed by power lines. Some are direct contact meaning by touching the power line. Some are indirect contact meaning by touching an object that was touching the power line. The electricity flow right through the object and through the person. This person is instantly electrocuted and killed. And the victim's burns are black. If you fly a kite or cut trees make sure there are no power lines close.
