Yes, but tragedies still happen. And, I have my own, personal,

pole and xformer serves only my house, just due to the distance
between poles and the next house.) We had a lineman with 30+
years experience killed 2 summers ago when he stepped on a pile
of branches and leaves in a backyard. There was a live 7000
volt wire buried down in that mess! So, stuff happens, when you
don't even realize there's a wire anywhere near you.

Jon, I am curious about that tragic event, how could that happen?
