Yes, they are made of copper .

Part of my safety training involved watching DWP videos, some had actual footage of guys touching the wrong thing then falling dead off the ladder....

Some we of guys who'd survived electrocution but I'm sure they'd rather have died as they had no hands, feet and very little skin .

Apparently when you contact high voltage it passes through your skin to your bones and travels up them cooking the marrow (where your blood is formed) until it reaches the nearest ground whereupon it leaves your body via the skin again as it arcs to the ground path .

Electricity is *very* lazy and the Human body is a fairly good conductor to RESPECT IT .

One of my older buddies used to change the brushes on the generating turbines as they were live and spinning, there's a whole rigamarole required, if you don't follow it you get cooked to death in seconds .

Watching 'stumpy' be interviewed in a hospital bed was very, VERY sobering .
