It is however interesting to see that touching a high voltage wire will conduct electricity no matter what.

Even though wood is considered a poor conductor, when it gets damp its conductivity increases dramatically.

Well, if it was a wooden pole he used it didn't curry him any favors with the voltage.

He could just throw something on the wire to make it bounce and there you go , done
