<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I find this hard to understand. Makes sense with a
handle like the old EZ-Just where the cable runs to the rear of the handle and
actually makes contact with the palm of your hand, but with the current
generation of handles the line and adjuster cable don't even come close to
your hand. Even the two long bolts holding the cable boss are like an inch away
from your hand. I think I remember that 1/2 inch of air gap is a 10,000 volt
insulator. I think if the charge was sufficient to jump a one inch gap you would
be quickly converted to R/C ( maybe ashes?).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> You just brought back a
memory. I was putting in a practiceflight at The Greater
Southeastern Championships at Dobbins AFB,Marietta Ga. in 1957 and
could feel the electric tingle every time I went above 10 ft. There was
thunderstorms in the far distance,maybe 10 miles. I flew the whole flight at
6 ft and used my hankerchief on the handle.That did insulate me
somewhat.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Don't laugh too hard! I was flying once and got a static
discharge through the lines, handle, and into my hand. I was nowhere near
power lines. The atmospheric conditions were just right for building
up static on the lines until it reached enough potentional to jump from
the wire to my hand. Scared the heck out of me!! Luckily I did not
let go, which was a good thing since I did not have a safety thong
attached.</DIV>
