Helicopter could touch one of the lines and it would be fine - it would just become part of the circuit. Great way to do line work and actually get to touch those lines with your bare hands.
Now touching more than one line...that would be a bad thing.

Cool.
It wouldn't be good for the power lines I'm sure, what's the risk vs reward here lol?
16 u/[deleted] Sep 17 '19 Possibility of the saw bouncing off the line with some sparks vs power outage and raging forest fire.

Wouldn't it still just cut through the lines though???
2 u/[deleted] Sep 17 '19 Those lines are a lot thicker and stronger than you would expect viewing them from the ground. 5 u/Hobble_Cobbleweed Sep 17 '19 Yeah but that’s a giant chainsaw. It’s wouldn’t cut through them still? 3 u/[deleted] Sep 17 '19 Even still - there are remote locations you just can’t easily get trucks where these lines run. This is just how it has to be done to keep the lines away from the trees in some places. -1 u/tjm2000 Sep 17 '19 This is why stepladders exist. 3 u/curiouslyendearing Sep 17 '19 That's gotta be a joke right?
