Default Wow...this guy has an amazing job...

For a living, this man sits in a field of electricity over 500,000 volts - hundreds of feet off the ground...

My uncle was a high voltage lineman for Idaho Power for 30 years or so. There was always something a bit "off" about him. We always joked that he must have absorbed too much voltage.

Cool vid!

That metal cage the guy was talking about, which in his case ends up being his suit.....well at this video they put a person in an actual metal cage and use a tesla coil to throw electricity all around it. Interesting that the theory is one in the same, just different applications.
