This is how my teen aged cousin died years ago. He was not stupid by any means. He was a rather talented singer, songwriter, and guitar player. Like many teenagers when alcohol was introduced they became invincible to all save for high tension power lines. He lit up like a comet when he slipped. He was dead before he hit the ground. Coincidentally my cousins name was also Michael.
A tightrope walker was tripped and landed beside Zarathustra, badly maimed and disfigured, but not dead.. . ."I lose nothing when I lose my life. I am not much more than a beast that has been taught to dance by blows and a few meager morsels.""By no means," said Zarathustra. "You have made danger your vocation; there is nothing contemptible in that. Now you perish of your vocation: for that I will bury you with my own hands."When Zarathustra had said this, the dying man answered no more; but he moved his hand as if he sought Zarathustra's hand in thanks.
Uhm, no. He was dead before he hit anything...Think about it. These are power lines supplying thousands of houses with power. They'll have the amperage to kill you.. instantly.

Children are only involved in carefully monitored activities now so there is no reason to teach them about dangers they won't ever encounter.

Regardless, it's a f**king industrial strength power line. I don't think those are measured in milliamps.
