    It’s not dead. You can crawl around on a single live wire as much as you want with proper grounding when getting to it.

    Slip, and your foot touches the other wire though? Yeah, you cooked or in for a drop.

      You absolutely can not touch a live wire if you’re grounded. Birds (and this plant somehow) do it by landing on the live wire without being in contact with ground.

        I think it must be a trabslatranslation error or so, because yeah you should NEVER touch live if you’re grounded haha 😅

          “As in you don’t touch the live and ground wire at the same time.”

          Misunderstanding apparently but the original comment says the same thing you guys just said.
