Answer:

The likely result is that you die due to a strong discharge of electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electricity goes its way to the cities through a high voltage grid. Traveling over hundreds of kilometers of wire, electric power is very dangerous and can cause shock as a result of an electric shock that can kill any living thing. Falling, covered or empty power lines are very dangerous and should not be touched under any circumstances. These lines can contain high voltage energy and cause death if touched by someone who is not properly protected, so it can only be touched by professionals with proper protective equipment.
