Gaz 1060 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 That would be an awesome job! It probabley scares most people because alot of people don't know enough about electricity and how shocks occur. As soon as you understand it, it doesn't seem quite so scarey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As soon as you understand it, it doesn't seem quite so scarey yeah, ok i guess maybe a little less dangerous if you understand it, but thats still alot of faith in the helicopter pilot! a little too far to the left?? a gust of wind??

Oh yea, I'd still definately be sh*tting myself get on and off the wires and if the helicopter is anywhere near me. Even though I understand it, I still hate working on anything live for the exact reason that something could happen thats beyond your control Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldskool 4 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 Freaky stuff huh, Have a family friend in Canada who used to do this for a living, back when he was about my age now, they got caught on the lines with big winds, while getting into the bucket he tried to turn himself into a human lightning rod, they wear big bad rubber boots & what the boots couldnt cope with blew the end of his little finger off, from the last nuckle, in an attempt to make a circuit. He used to freak us out as kids with telling us this is what electricity would do if we didnt watch what we did. Made me think twice about farkin about with electricity. At least you could say work was a buzz hey...............lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 far out that would be something different. Also would be a mean buzz if you were walking through the forest and saw the white dressed men crawling along powerlines... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
