00:00when a high voltage power line falls near you why should you never run because once the line touches
00:07the ground electricity spreads outward from the contact point forming concentric zones of high
00:13voltage typically everything within about a 20 meter radius is dangerous and each ring has
00:20a different voltage if you walk or run normally your feet will land on points with different
00:25voltages creating what's called step voltage once this voltage difference forms current can enter
00:32through one foot and exit through the other causing serious injury the correct way to escape is to hop
00:39away on one foot in the opposite direction of the wire if that's difficult keep both feet together
00:45and jump away or keep your feet close to the ground and shuffle slowly moving only a few centimeters at
00:52a time the key principle is simple always keep your body at the same voltage point to break the path
00:59of current it may look strange but this method can truly help you safely escape the electric field when
01:06a high voltage line falls
