I am not an electrician, but I have hard times imagining someone going

Perhaps there is more to the story than has been said to date?

You forget, iggy - *IDIOTS ABOUND*
I'd be willing to bet that if you could ask them, the ones that have
fried themselves this way would tell you that they had *NO CLUE
WHATSOEVER* that those big wires on top of the tall poles were anything
more than "regular" 110 like you get out of a wall socket - just hurts
for a second, and by then, I'll have it knocked loose and be able to
drag it off to the scrapyard", with absolutely no concept of what kind
of numbers are involved or how much "hurt" grabbing it is going to
cause. "I've been zapped by the wall plugs before - yeah, it sucks, but
it doesn't hurt for long, and I'm still standing here, so the same is
true for those high-wires, right? And besides - Birds land on 'em all
the time, so it can't be *THAT* bad, right? Here, hold my beer and watch
this... <KA-POW!>" Look dear! crispy-fried wire thief...
