My question is how did he make it up there without getting electrocuted.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

No bungee rope. That's gonna be a short drop and an ugly landing.

 

[petro]

The important question.

Is he wearing a mask?

I am gonna put money on that the fellar has a nose full of methamphetamine and some luck...

He'd better be an essential worker.

I believe he would have to come into contact or complete the circuit with at least two of the lines. Sometimes that arcs several feet.

Shoot him with an air soft or paintball gun till he drops.

Easy. He is not grounded. Ever wonder how birds sit on power lines without blowing up?

The guy was obeying social distancing rules.

He probably just watched Sleepy Joe's latest cringeworthy effort from his basement and just couldn't take anymore.

If you aren't grounded you won't get shocked. It's a wooden pole.

He thought he was a monkey and had just listened to Peter Gabriel.

Duh, he's standing on the cross-beam, which is connected to the pole, which is grounded.

Did a pitbull chase him up there?...I'd climb a utility pole to get away from one of those little fuckers.
