I've done electrical controls for 20+ years. I've had my hands in hot power. I've worked on equipment that had to be repaired while running. I've repaired 500 ton overhead cranes. I was even head electrician on a tunnel boring machine powered by 13,600 volts. Ive watched high voltage jump 18" through thin air to discharge at a ground short. Never would I ever consider doing this man's job. I read a comment asking the question "how does that helicopter lift that guy's balls?".......... That is the real question here!!
To all those who are smart enough to notice the gloves.. They wouldn't save his life. They're so he doesnt get his hands cut up. That high voltage would jump right into his face if he was grounded.
I believe the wand brings the lineman and helicopter to the same potential as the line. No current will flow where there is no difference in potential. The lineman wears special clothing to eliminate any static that may be present as the result of air flowing over him and helicopter.
That arc at the end when he is pulling away with the rod, is definitely unreal. Super cool but only when you know how dangerous it really is. Cool video for sure.
I’m happy to have been only a cable tv pole climber back in the day! My whole body would tingle with adrenaline once I realized I had to gaff my way up a 50 foot utility pole to just to disconnect someones Showtime because they were late on their payment!
I've been in a helicopter to learn to pilot one, so I handled it for a little bit. There is a lot to keep track for the movement and stability. The wind affects every little thing you do. Naturally, hovering within a few inches is extremely difficult because you need to make all sorts of adjustments to keep it in the same place in a 3D space. The pilot trainer said it was the most difficult thing he knows how to do.

As an Electrician I'll take a pass on this job

The hell with the lineman what about the friggen pilots skills.
As a mechanic, I'm most impressed that he doesn't drop his tools under these conditions! I would want have some of my things tethered to the chopper..
Imagine dropping your tool while in the middle of the job

Props to the pilot for keeping still with such precision.

Mad respect for the helicopter pilot and the lineman.✌️
This puts in perspective the importance of maintaining the flow of energy that we depend on
Don't be afraid of eletricity⚡ , respect it.
How can that helicopter carry the weight of his balls though?

Must be really hard getting your head around the fact that you, and the helicopter are at 300kv!!

Just started my pre apprenticeship, so far so good. Gonna keep to it and hopefully one day I can join these guys.
Thanks for keeping power on guys!
Mad respect for the helicopters rotors being able to handle this man's massive nads
