Because you can touch the live wires and the voltage can kill you.
CommentIt's quite unnecessary to 'touch' the live conductors. Approaching them within a few metres (depending on the voltage) will be sufficient for the high voltage to 'flash over', and inflict fatal burns. And if the burns don't kill you, the resulting fall will certainly finish you off!

What causes electricity pylons to hum?
induced currents,usually caused by damp weather wet etc
What are electricity pylons used for?
Pylons are there to carry electric wires which send large amounts of electrical energy across the country from where it is generated to where it is used. Pylons usually carry electricity at many thousands of volts because this is the efficient way to transmit it. Typical voltages on pylons are 100,000 volts up to a limit of about a million volts. The wires carried on pylons are usually made of stranded aluminium with a steel core, with overall diameters up to about one inch. A line of pylons carrying six wires making up two 3-phase circuits and operating at 132,000 volts can carry a power of about 200 megawatts, enough for a town of 200,000 people.
A sentence using the word electricity and dangerous?
Please be careful around that dangerous electricity.
Why is 240 volt electricity more dangerous than 12 volt electricity?
It is neither more or less dangerous . The determining danger factor is amperage.
Why are some electricity pylons in US made of wood?
Wood is relatively strong, weathers fairly well, is (or was, at least) readily available, and is inexpensive. Utility power generation is, after all, a for-profit business.
Do pylons send electricity?
No, pylons do not send electricity. Pylons support electricity-carrying cables or wires that transmit electricity from power plants to homes and businesses.
Is it sensible to play near or climb pylons?
Not particularly.
What is the main cause of people dying from electricity?
pylons
How many people die from climbing up electic pylons every year?
There is no specific statistic on the number of people who die from climbing up electric pylons each year. However, such incidents are extremely dangerous due to the high voltage of the electricity they carry, and can often result in death or serious injury. Climbing electric pylons is illegal and should never be attempted.
Are pylons electric at the bottom?
No, pylons (or transmission towers) are not electric at the bottom. The electricity is carried through the overhead power lines that are attached to the pylons. The pylons are designed to support the power lines and keep them elevated above the ground.
How is ac supplied all over the UK?
By electricity pylons and cables
What does it mean to dream of electricity pylons?
Dreaming of a pylon, means you are to have glory and that you win.
What happends to electric pylons on a sunny day?
Electric pylons do not have any specific reactions to sunny days. They continue to operate as normal and carry electricity as required, regardless of the weather conditions. Sunny days do not have a direct impact on the function or operation of electric pylons.
What are the risks of living near electricity pylons?
Living near electricity pylons can expose you to electromagnetic fields, which may have potential health risks such as a slightly increased risk of childhood leukemia. However, conclusive scientific evidence linking living near electricity pylons to adverse health effects is still lacking. Additional studies are needed to fully understand the potential risks.
What causes electricity pylons to hum?
induced currents,usually caused by damp weather wet etc
Why should you not fly a kite near electricity pylons?
Pylons carry electricity, so we can use it in our daily life. This is going to be a lot of electricity therefore meaning, it's going to be powerful. If you were to tangle your kite in a pylon and touch any of it, you would suffer major burns, electric shock, loss of muscle control and even death.
