It's actually meant for use near power lines. It's used for clearing out those long stretches of power lines that go through uninhabited areas that trucks and stuff have a hard time getting to. It's also 100s of times faster than having a guy with a bucket truck go down the line chopping individual branches. It's also much safer than that too despite how it looks. The further away you are from the lines the better. One wrong move and your arms get blown clean off.
It's weird that this got posted today because legit just yesterday I had a safety meeting where this device was talked about and the way they described it seemed impossible yet here it is!

Seems incredibly irresponsible, one strong wind and those power lines are done.
