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

    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 😅

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