I grew up on a farm/ranch, and you would not believe how many times farmers have died from hitting powerlines with sprinkler pipes!! The pipes are about 40'-50' long and you lift them into the air to drain all the water out so that you can carry the sprinkler pipe to the next hook up. At the end of the field there is power lines running down the road (not always) and sometimes people accidently touch the power lines and they never come in for dinner. I imagine it hurt like the mother of all pain from what it looks like!
