but touch between two conductors with different phases at the same moment is worse than conection betwen conductor and the ground! The tensinon is bigger!

@nanomagnetic Makes sense. Wind loading alone is probably much more.

@ApolloWasReal I think I can answer this old one: Power lines are typically thousands or tens of thousands of pounds of steel cable running from span to span. One 180lb pound man and his 100lb(?) cart don't mean much as far as strain tolerances go.

its hard to complain about the camera work considering where they are

[itsdglad4]

They use the helicopter and stay only on the lines. they do not touch the ground. like a bird on the wire. No grounding, no hazard.

[marmum87]

@letssled yes, they do all this while they are on, they use ground wires and I think something else to keep it from shocking them

[gncc94]

i could not do that

[letssled]

So were these lines energized?
