For example, in theory, you'd be safe jumping on it with both feet. It'd probably be wise to practice on a dead rail first, though." "As are the non-dead birds that sit on high-voltage lines. When one of those non-dead birds chooses to put a foot either side of an insulator, though, they become very surprised-looking fully-dead half-birds very very quickly!" |
