The isulators, arcing horn and jumper contact (live)
While i was up there, the winds were strong and if u put your hand on the tower you could feel some sparking effect. This is because the line is still live and carrying power. If i actually reached out my hands towards the hanging lines, it is possible to have a flash over, in other words, i'll get fried... xP
