They are not connecting "jumpers". They are applying portable grounds. After the guy touches the conductor, you see him turning the hot stick to close the ground clamp. The power is already off, and disconnects open. The sparking is from induction. This is why it is always said that you don't have to actually touch high voltage to get electrocuted. And also why you must ground before or use appropriate hot line tools before coming in contact with high voltage. Amateurs need not apply!

@lonewolfintj looks like it was to me does the same thing to me at work on 345kv

Interesting, but blurry and very short. What exactly is going on there? The arc doesn't look/sound anywhere near intense enough to be a live load, so I'm assuming it was just induced line noise. Was that a safety grounding conductor to ground lines for maintenance work? Just curious.

These guys who work "live" like this earn their money many times over- the real unsung heroes of our electrical infrastructure. They've got nerves of steel too (or at least non-conductive fibers!)...
