High Voltage Cable Inspection
Why people recommend it
Shows a lineman working on a live high-voltage cable, cited to explain why high voltage alone does not injure and why current flow is what matters.
In their words
The zap between your body and the metal is just a smaller version of the arcs that linemen and electricians deal with everyday, and this suit will keep the arc between the metal and the suit rather than your skin, so you should not feel it.
