as to why the shock was not super lethal :

as the metal body hit the upper lines it formed an electrical circuit to the ground with the main electron flow area occuring in the pipes directly to the ground.

any human touching that metal shit from now forms a parallel circuit to the main circuit which is pumping thousands of amps to the ground.

the resistance of the human outer layer is pretty high and the resistance of the metal body is very low - so in accordance to the laws of parralel circuits the amp drops exponentially to every ohm more applied in the human body.

the workers mabye got 10kV 500mA or even less. but it seems to be enough. and man are they dumb, you gotta be super dumb to walk around power lines with such a thing. REALLY dumb - like you spent your entire youth never in any school....
