How would any lineman know? If they have been "zapped" by this high voltage
spike you speak of, they wouldn't be telling you about it usually.

If they are putting grounds on a line with their bare hands it won't take a
wild
generator to kill them.

They wouldn't have need to tell "Me", as I have been there, and seen
that, many times, in one of my previous lives. Have you ever really
looked at the Grounding Straps used by the Pro's? Have you ever noticed
that they have builtin devices that show if they go "Hot" while
connected? Where did the "Bare Hands" come from? All the linemen, I
have ever known work with UL Approved Insulated Gloves, and HotSticks,
but that doesn't mean they never get zapped or tingled on occasion.
