<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>heh hes damn lucky he didnt land on the power lines!!</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>well...if you grab a powerline with BOTH hands at the same time to maintain the circuit them you'll be alright...but the chances of doing that in this situation is insane</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>No, you don't even need to use both hands. As long as you're not touching something at a different potential (i.e., the ground), you won't complete the circuit, and you're fine.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>right....as far as I know..you have to touch both the live wire and the ground to get electrocuted...his feet were on the ground wire..he was clinging to the telephone wire</div>
