Is it more or less dangerous to touch high voltage wires in water?
Touching a high-voltage wire while in the water is indeed more dangerous.Here's an explanation Enhanced Conductivity: Water is an excellent conductor of electricity, especially when it contains impurities such as salt water or sewage. When a person is in the water, the conductivity of the body significantly increases, which means that current can more easily pass through the human body. Reduced Insulation: In water, the insulation provided by human skin and clothing is significantly diminished.
