There is no danger in coming in contact with high voltage. The danger ensues when

you're also in contact with a much different voltage at the same time. The difference

in voltage between two points causes a current through your body, and that current

is what plays havoc with your nervous system and muscles. Linemen working in a

"cherry-picker" bucket truck actually connect themselves to the line they're working on,

the truck is kept insulated from the ground, warning cones are set up around the truck,

and nobody touches the truck while it's clamped to the line.

A bird can perch harmlessly on a bare high-voltage line because he's not touching

anything else at the same time.
