mention to self : DO NOT meet WITH mightiness LINES .

Remember those public service announcements that used to run on TV all the clip in the ’ 80 and ’ 90s ? “ Stay away from downed power line ! Do n’t even get near them ! They make look harmless , but they ’ll flash - boil your brain right inside your skull ! ”

Those PSA are fun to mock ( search at you , G.I. Joe ) , but you guy wire , power lines are SERIOUS BUSINESS . This TV – which features electrical worker , who appear to be outfitted with insulated glove and sleeve , flirt with lively , gamey - voltage cablegram – illustrates why .
