Woman survives high voltage shock
Friday, October 30, 2009
Just like the kid with the taser.
A mid-50`s woman climbed up a high-voltage tower and refused to go down. In arguing and shouting, her finger touched the power line and the electric arc jumped from her hand to her face as if she was bursting into flames. She got better. The firefighters finally got the power down and rescued her off the tower after another 45 minutes of persuasion.

I'm slightly surprised they couldn't turn the power off before she zapped herself and that the firemen didn't have a ladder (or pneumatic lift ladder) to make the job of rescuing her easier.
Interesting to watch the electricity arc, it almost looks Hollywood and seems to prove that the following youtube clips aren't as fake as many think:
