I have a potentially life-saving tip for you today. When a high-voltage power line falls to the ground, it creates invisible concentric circles of electricity that can spread up to 20 meters from the point of contact. The voltage is strongest at the center and gradually decreases further out. If your feet are even a short distance apart and positioned in two different voltage zones, electricity can pass through your body – this is known as step voltage, and it can be deadly. If you find yourself in this situation, to stay safe, don’t panic and never run. Instead, carefully move away from the area by kangaroo jumping with both feet together and landing the same way. If you can’t jump, keep your feet close together and slowly shuffle, sliding them along the ground with each step no more than 5 cm, until you’re safely beyond the danger zone.
