A few year back, Hydro had upgrade a 220 Volts line to 550 Volts using the 6 inches steel crossarm, which were going to be be changed later on. I started climbing the pole and suddenly I ended up on my ass in the middle of the street, stupid me, I stated climing again and again I fell on my ass. I decided then to look a little deeper in the situation and saw a squirrel where his front leg were on the live side of the 550 volts line and the rear one on the pole, and since it had rain earlier it made a perfect connection. Lucky to be be alive today....
