If anyone still has any illusions that high tension power lines
are not dangerous

I give you fair warning these pictures of a lineman who fell
onto 110kV overhead cables depict severe injuries. Dead
as soon as he hit the wires of course, so the mutilations
caused by the high voltage are post mortem. It sure helps
you keep a healthy respect for what we work with.

And by coincidence there was a story on TV last night about
a 10 year old boy who thought he'd be helpful by poking a wire
back into a roadside transformer and lost all the skin off his
arms and face in a flash fire, and was lucky not to be killed
or lose fingers. Story (Real Player streaming video) at
